Tatarstan President meets Head of Kuibyshev railways

Issues of cooperation between Tatarstan and Kuibyshev railways, development of railway transport infrastructure in Tatarstan were discussed at the meeting.

According to Minnikhanov, Kuibyshev railways have been transported 9.8 million tonnes of goods for eight months in Tatarstan (4.6 per cent more than last year). The freight turnover will be increasing due to increase in production at TANECO refinery and implementation of new large-scale industrial projects in Kama industrial cluster.

Rustam Minnikhanov told Sergey Solozhenkin about plans on creating new production facilities.

Thus, “Kastamonu Entegre” plant will require 700, 000 tonnes of raw materials every year that will be partly supplied from outside the republic. Also, glass and household chemicals production plants will be built.

“Besides rendering transportation services, “Russian railways” is a large consumer of our industrial produce. This year the company bought products for 1.2 million roubles,” Rustam Minnikhanov said.
