Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Presidium (Headquarters) of the Government Commission on Regional Development. Participants discussed the implementation of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, cash execution issues for programs, and reviewed regional applications for project financing using treasury infrastructure loans (TILs).
"Following the President's instructions, systematic monitoring of housing construction in the regions continues. As of October 1, 2025, 76.57 million square meters of housing had been commissioned. Urban development potential has increased to 471 million square meters. The volume of housing under construction has increased to 120 million square meters. It is essential to maintain this pace and ensure the commissioning of over 100 million square meters of housing this year. Road construction is also showing positive momentum. Overall, key national targets are being met on schedule. Contractual discipline under state programs is a key issue, as it determines the timely completion of all planned projects. With little time left until the end of the year, the regions are faced with the task of ensuring the full utilization of allocated funds," said Marat Khusnullin.
In terms of achieving key performance indicators, Marat Khusnullin noted the high results of the Saratov and Penza regions, the republics of Tatarstan, Adygea, Buryatia, Mordovia, and the Chechen Republic.
Following a review of regional applications for project financing using treasury infrastructure loans, projects were approved in Kursk Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, and the Republic of Buryatia.
"The use of treasury infrastructure loans opens up additional opportunities for the implementation of socially significant projects in the regions. We continue to actively review regional funding applications so they can begin work quickly. Today, the headquarters approved applications from Kursk Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, and the Republic of Buryatia totaling 15.62 billion rubles. These are 12 projects, including 14 facilities. The funds from the treasury infrastructure loans will be used to modernize housing and utilities systems, transport infrastructure projects, and public amenities," noted Marat Khusnullin.
Specifically, the Kursk Region will receive a treasury infrastructure loan of 2.63 billion rubles to modernize public utilities in the Bolshesoldatsky, Khomutovsky, and Rylsky districts.
Additionally, 2.25 billion rubles will be allocated to the Republic of Buryatia for the reconstruction of the Tyi water intake in Severobaikalsk, repair of emergency sewers and external networks, and improvement of public spaces in Ulan-Ude. Furthermore, major repairs to tram tracks and reconstruction of the runway at Nizhneangarsk Airport in the Severobaikalsky District are planned.
In the Krasnodar region, a main sewer collector is planned to be built in the city of Krasnodar using KIK funds totaling 10.74 billion rubles.
First Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Alexander Lomakin reported on the financing of integrated territorial development projects (ITD) using subsidies from the federal budget.
"Thanks to the President's decision, regions with low budgetary capacity, as well as entities for which individual socio-economic development programs are being developed, can receive direct subsidies for the construction of facilities under the KRT. Currently, 19 regions have begun contracting, and 14 have already fully completed this process. Regional authorities are allocating funds for the construction or reconstruction of infrastructure facilities, as well as for connecting facilities to utility networks," noted Alexander Lomakin.
The Russian Ministry of Construction oversees the Treasury Infrastructure Loan Program, and the Territorial Development Fund participates in its implementation.
"The KIK mechanism was launched as a continuation of the infrastructure budget loan program, which has proven effective in addressing regional development challenges. The funds, provided on favorable terms—at 3% interest for 15 years—are used to implement projects that are important to people. To date, applications under the KIK program have been approved for 82 regions, totaling 333.75 billion rubles. Most of the funds will be used to upgrade public utility infrastructure," noted Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund.
At the headquarters meeting, the regional leaders also discussed infrastructure restoration in the DPR, LPR, and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. The Deputy Prime Minister instructed that work on preparations for the autumn-winter period and on educational facilities be completed as soon as possible.
