This task was set for the company’s management during a working visit by the Special Representative of the President for Special Assignments Bakyt Torobaev.

He said the visit took place on the instruction of President Sadyr Japarov as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s supply of fuel and lubricants. During the visit, the delegation reviewed the plant’s operations, oil refining processes, and laboratory testing of finished products.

In addition to increasing production volumes, the refinery has been instructed to establish cooperation with Kyrgyz Oil Corporation LLC. The state enterprise will supply crude oil for processing, while all produced petroleum products are planned to be directed exclusively to the domestic market.

Kyrgyzstan imports around 90–95 percent of its fuel and lubricants from Russia. In recent weeks, several Russian regions have introduced restrictions on gasoline sales due to disruptions at oil refineries, seasonal demand growth, and drone attacks. According to the Oil Traders Association of Kyrgyzstan, there is currently no fuel shortage in the country, although a reduction in the availability of AI 95 gasoline has already been observed.

To stabilize prices, authorities have introduced state regulation of fuel prices until the end of September and continue to subsidize fuel importing companies.
