PM gave certain tasks to working group on location of car production in Kazakhstan

ASTANA. November 18. KAZINFORM Yesterday Prime Minister Karim Massimov held a working conference on development of car production in Kazakhstan which was attended by the representatives of all interested central and local executive bodies and Russia's Sollers Company.

As the PM's press service informs, the conference focused on a proposition initiated by the working group concerning establishment of a car assembly plant in Kostanay. According to Vice Minister of Industry and New Technologies Berik Kamaliyev the idea of establishment of the production in this town was thoroughly discussed. The main factors of choosing this town are its location (not far from Rusisan markets) and presence of car assembly production and necessary infrastructure (gas, warehouse and production facilities, railway sidings etc.) on the ground of Agromashholding Company which will allow reducing logistics expenditures.

Following the discussion the PM gave certain instructions on identifying the site for establishment of the production line in Kostanay, models of the cars as well as to consider the issues regarding taxation and state support measures.
