A 270-hectare urban district, Nukus City, designed for 50,000 residents, is planned to be built in Nukus. This is provided for by presidential resolution No. PP-393 of November 5, 2026, on the development of Karakalpakstan.

The district will be located in the Zholshylar mahalla. The master plan will be prepared taking into account the experience of New Tashkent and recommendations from foreign organizations, featuring modern architectural solutions and energy-saving technologies. It provides for apartment buildings with smart city elements, shopping and business centers, hotels, sports grounds, parks, green areas, fountains, and social facilities. The construction timeline and project cost are not specified, Anhor.uz notes.

The document also sets economic targets for the republic for 2027: GRP is projected to grow by 8%, industry by 7%, market services by 17%, agricultural production by 5%, and construction work by 13%. Exports are planned to reach $550 million, and investment volume is to double to $5 billion. In the first phase, high-income jobs are expected to be provided to 513,000 people from 125,000 low-income families.

Starting November 15, 2026, the company Bozatov Agrostar will be established in Karakalpakstan within the Uzagrostar holding system. It will pellet and encapsulate seeds of desert and pasture plants and sow them from drones; 10 drones and two granulators will be purchased for this purpose. By the end of 2030, 100,000 hectares are planned to be sown this way.

Certain land tenants who acquired plots at electronic auctions between January 1, 2022, and April 15, 2023, will be allowed a three-year interest-free installment plan.
