Implementation of the Tobyl Logistics Hub Project to Be Accelerated in Kostanay Region

Upon completion, the complex is expected to increase container transportation volumes by 20%

First Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Nurlibek Naliyev visited the Kostanay Region on a working trip, where he reviewed the development of the region’s industrial and agricultural sectors and assessed the progress of major production and infrastructure projects.

Following the visit, a number of directives were issued, including support for investment projects, expansion of the region’s export potential, development of industrial zone infrastructure, acceleration of financing for the Tobyl transport and logistics complex, and implementation of deep agricultural processing projects.

The Tobyl Transport and Logistics Complex is one of the region’s largest infrastructure projects, with an estimated cost of about 64 billion tenge. The project is aimed at strengthening the transit potential of the Kostanay Region. After full completion and commissioning, container transportation volumes are expected to increase by 20%.

As part of the first stage of the project, 2,723.7 meters of railway tracks and a container terminal covering 26,000 square meters have already been built. The project is scheduled for full completion in 2027.

According to Aidyn Alimov, Director of Tobyl TLC LLP, the launch of the facility will significantly enhance the region’s transport and logistics capabilities and create conditions for establishing one of the key international freight hubs.

During the visit, the First Deputy Prime Minister was also presented with two major investment projects aimed at further expanding the region’s economic and investment potential. These include a deep grain processing plant and a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility.
