In the Volga Federal District, which comprises 14 regions, infrastructure development continues with the use of infrastructure budget loans (IBK), special treasury loans (STL), and treasury infrastructure loans (TIL). These financial support mechanisms help create and upgrade utilities, social infrastructure, road infrastructure, transport infrastructure, and tourism infrastructure, which drives overall regional development.

"Over the years, the infrastructure loan program has become extremely popular in our country's regions. The allocated funds support the construction and renovation of facilities vital to residents, as well as the development of territories. For example, projects implemented in the Volga Federal District since 2021 have contributed to the commissioning of 8.8 million square meters of housing, the attraction of approximately 534 billion rubles in extra-budgetary investment, and the creation of 32,200 jobs. The largest volume of housing commissioned thanks to infrastructure loans was in the Republic of Tatarstan (4.6 million square meters), the Penza Region (1.15 million square meters), and the Perm Krai (816,000 square meters)," said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

According to First Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Alexander Lomakin, a total of 447 projects and events are planned to be completed in the Volga Federal District using funds from the IBC, SKK, and KIK.

"Since 2021, 154 projects and activities have been completed. These include the Tolyatti bypass with a bridge crossing over the Volga River as part of the Europe-Western China international transport route, the Alekseyevskoye-Almetyevsk road in the Republic of Tatarstan, and the first phase of construction of the Stolypin Industrial Park in the Saratov Region, including the creation of the necessary engineering infrastructure and the construction of the road with sidewalks. Furthermore, the delivery of new public transport has been fully completed—the regions have received 1,469 buses thanks to the SCC," noted Alexander Lomakin.

Implementation of projects financed by infrastructure loans continues – approximately 300 projects and activities are underway in the Volga Federal District, including the construction of the main sewage pumping station in Neftekamsk in the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund, noted that the Volga Federal District's government commission on regional development also approved treasury infrastructure loans totaling 63.09 billion rubles in 2025.

"Under the housing and utilities caps, 45.03 billion rubles have been distributed among the constituent entities of the Volga Federal District for 214 projects and activities. Moreover, six utility infrastructure projects have already been commissioned in the Penza Region. Another 21.7 billion rubles have been approved for 31 projects through the KIK tender. In accordance with the instructions of the President of Russia, 1.4 billion rubles have been approved for the purchase of public transport," said Vasily Kupyzin.

The Ministry of Construction oversees the infrastructure loan program. The Territorial Development Fund participates in the project implementation.
