Speaking in an interview with Asia-Plus, the Tojikgaz head Fathiddin Muhsiddinov said that three days ago, Uzbekistan cut natural-gas supplies to Tajikistan from 840,000 cubic meters per day to 480,000 cubic meters.
According to him, they have remitted US$3 million to Uzbekistan; however, they have cut the gas deliveries due to US$5 million in arrears that Tojikgaz owes to Uzbekistan.
The Tojikgaz top manager further added that that a present, only Tajik Aluminum Company (Talco) and closed joint-stock company (OJSC) Tojikazot (Sarband-based plant for producing mineral fertilizers) receive gas supplies regularly.
In the meantime, Barqi Tojik power holding currently owes some US$2.7 million to Tojikgaz and gas debts of Tojikcement (Dushanbe cement plant) now amount to US$1 million.
