Welcome to the city of Sulukta!

Sulukta is a city of oblast importance, situated in south-western part of Batken oblast, in mountain formation situated in a narrow meandering gorge of Sulukta Sai river. At the present time coal-mining is an important and major industry of the city. In addition to coal, Sulukta is rich in raw material resources such as quartz sand, limestone, clay, and gypsum.

Motor highways connect city with the Leylek region of the Batken oblast and a narrow-gauge railway connects city to Sogdiskaya oblast of Republic of Tajikistan. A wide-gauge railway and highways connect it to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Russia.

The favorable investment climate is evidenced by easy access to city industrial and social infrastructures, the highly qualified people and abundant natural resources; both mineral and agricultural. The land is mainly dry-farming and is suitable for growing cereals, olive crops and on personal plots of households: fruits, vegetables and other crops.

An established city infrastructure (electricity, telecommunications, central water supply) supports an excellent opportunity to expand and increase the industrial base, as well as potential for the extraction and processing of raw material resources.

Thus, we present this profile of Sulukta City to you and trust it will be useful in learning about and appreciating our city as a favorable location for your business activities.
