Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — Yandex Uzbekistan has launched an incentive program aimed at supporting entrepreneurs who want to start or expand their taxi business.

Under this initiative, partners can earn bonuses of up to 35 million soums per year for each new vehicle connected to the Yandex Taxi service. The program offers comprehensive business support, including process automation, staff training, and discounts on vehicle purchases from partners. In the future, special leasing terms for vehicles are also planned.

To participate in the program by 30 September 2025, applicants must acquire at least 10 Uzbekistan-assembled vehicles that meet the specified brand and model year criteria and connect them to the service to fulfill orders.

A mandatory requirement is that vehicles operate regularly and complete trips actively.

According to Timur Aliev, head of Yandex Taxi, the project will help attract new partners, regularly update the fleet, and improve service quality, which in turn will ensure steady passenger demand.

Currently, partners already have access to tools for recruiting and training drivers, an automated order and fleet management system, as well as training webinars for managers.

Applications for participation are accepted until 19 September 2025, with a limited number of spots available in the program.
