Resolution of October 31, 2025 No. 1709

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the Government meeting, November 6, 2025

The government has improved the mechanism for investment protection and promotion agreements (IPPAs), allowing organizations implementing investment projects to receive reimbursement for their expenses in the form of a tax deduction. A resolution has been signed on the procedure for providing this form of state support.

The decision will launch a mechanism for reimbursing expenses in the form of tax deductions for the creation, modernization, and reconstruction of transport, energy, utilities, social, and digital infrastructure facilities necessary for the implementation of investment projects.

The tax deduction will be applied to income tax, property tax, and land tax paid in connection with the project. It will amount to up to 50% of the costs of constructing supporting infrastructure facilities used to implement the investment project, and up to 100% of the costs of supporting infrastructure facilities. The deduction amount must not exceed the amount of taxes paid. To qualify, companies must submit documents confirming the amount of expenses incurred to the Ministry of Economic Development.

The SPZPK mechanism, which guarantees unchangeable conditions for the implementation of major investment projects, was launched by the government in 2020, becoming one of the key instruments supporting investment activity. It enables businesses to maintain tax, land use, urban development, and government support measures even if they change nationwide, as well as partially reimburse infrastructure costs and interest on loans.

Announcing the decision takenGovernment meeting on November 6Mikhail Mishustin noted that in the five years since this mechanism was launched, approximately 80 such agreements have been concluded, totaling approximately 4.5 trillion rubles. Thirteen industrial facilities, worth a total of 700 billion rubles, have already been commissioned, creating over 8,000 jobs in more than 10 regions of the country.

Every November, Russia celebrates Bridge Day (Mostoden). Thanks to the national "Infrastructure for Life" project, large-scale construction, reconstruction, repair, and major overhaul of artificial structures continues on the regional and local road network. In the first 10 months of this year, 175 bridges and overpasses have been commissioned, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Our strategic objective, in the context of growing motorization, increasing traffic volume, and increasing population mobility, is to ensure seamless logistics so that as many of our citizens as possible can use high-quality roads and convenient routes. Every artificial structure is an integral, and often key, element of the road framework that ensures uninterrupted transport connections. Today, it's important not just to renovate and build bridges and overpasses, but to do so systematically. This objective is being successfully addressed thanks to the national project 'Infrastructure for Life.' By the end of October, 175 artificial structures, with a total length of 12,400 linear meters, had been commissioned on the regional and local road network," said Marat Khusnullin.

Construction and installation work continues at other sites, many of which are at an advanced stage of readiness, and some bridges and overpasses are ready for commissioning.

"By the end of the year, under the 'Infrastructure for Life' national project, we will commission more than 560 artificial structures, totaling over 43,000 linear meters. These include construction, reconstruction, and repair projects, including major ones. Many structures haven't seen major repairs for decades, even though traffic volumes, and therefore the load on them, have increased significantly. These factors are being taken into account, and advanced technologies, solutions, and new materials are being used in construction and installation work," noted Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin.

Large-scale renovation and construction of bridge structures on the regional and local networks was made possible thanks to federal support.

"The smooth operation of bridges and overpasses directly impacts people's quality of life: this includes the delivery of goods, the passage of emergency services, the safe crossing of railway tracks, and much more. In 2025, 50.472 billion rubles have been allocated from the federal budget for the repair and construction of these structures," said Kairat Tursunbekov, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.

In October 2025, on the sidelines of the 12th International Specialized Exhibition "Road 2025," traffic opened on a new overpass over the Trans-Siberian Railway in the village of Seryshevo in the Amur Region. The total length of the overpass, including access roads, is 3 km.

Construction of two more overpasses is also ongoing in the Amur Region. The overpass over the Trans-Siberian Railway in Novobureysky, funded by infrastructure bonds, is scheduled to open in December. The overpass in Belogorsk is scheduled to open in 2027 under the national project. Work is ahead of schedule.

In the Republic of Bashkortostan, the bridge over the Ik River has reopened to traffic after reconstruction. It is unique in that it straddles the border of two regions and two time zones. The bridge provides the shortest route for residents of Bashkortostan and Tatarstan, who use the Oktyabrsky-Urussu road daily to get to work, school, and clinics. Following the reconstruction, traffic on this road is expected to reach 4,000 vehicles per day. The work was completed ahead of schedule.

Another significant project in the republic this year is the bridge across the Bely Kamen (Uzyan) River on the Tolbazy-Krasnousolsky highway. The 39-linear-meter structure underwent a major overhaul.

In the Perm Krai, bridge builders completed 35 bridge structures (over 2,000 linear meters). Among the most significant was the bridge across the Usva River (250 linear meters) at the 93rd kilometer of the Polazna-Chusovoy highway. This is a vital transportation artery, providing access to the city of Chusovoy and from there to the northern part of the Kama region, including Gubakha, Solikamsk, Gremyachinsk, Lysva, Kungur, and Gornozavodsk. The bridge connects the main entrance to Chusovoy from Perm with Yuzhnaya Street, located on the other bank of the Usva. It carries a large volume of traffic daily, including 11 urban, suburban, and inter-municipal routes.

The bridge over the Iren River in Kungur was overhauled six months ahead of the contract deadline. Located on Krasnoarmeyskaya Street, the bridge provides transportation links between the village of Zairensky and the Nagorny District with the central part of Kungur, including the Mashzavod and Cheryomushki neighborhoods, home to numerous socially significant facilities. Furthermore, the reopening reduces traffic congestion on the adjacent Preobrazhensky Bridge. Upon completion, the bridge is a meter higher, while its width and length remain the same.

During a working visit to the Samara Region, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the region's educational infrastructure. Specifically, he visited Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Korolev and Volga Region State College.

"The Samara Region is actively leveraging government support measures in education and science: colleges are participating in the "Professionalism" federal project of the "Youth and Children" national project, universities are participating in "Priority 2030," leading engineering schools and the National Center for Medical Sciences are operating, and a world-class campus is being created. Volga Region State College and Samara University are shining examples of how organizations participating in these large-scale programs are helping develop the region's human and technological potential, thereby contributing to achieving the goals set by President Vladimir Putin," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Dmitry Chernyshenko visited a cyberphysical factory producing small-sized gas turbine engines and learned about cutting-edge developments created by Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Korolev as part of the "Priority-2030" program, the PIS, the NCMU, the student design bureau, and the artificial intelligence research center. He also spoke with the developers.

"We are actively studying and adopting the experience of successful federal projects, such as 'Advanced Engineering Schools.' This year, we decided to hold a regional selection process for engineering school status in areas such as information technology and transport technology. We support the university's research diversification toward the national technological leadership project 'New Materials and Chemistry,'" noted regional Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev.

Samara Oblast is among the top ten regions in terms of scientific and technological development.

Samara University named after Korolev is the base university of the Kuibyshev Interuniversity Student Campus. The university has over 20,000 students, including representatives from over 60 countries. Popular fields of study include aeronautical and rocket and space engineering, mechanical engineering, mathematics, and mechanics.

In 2025, the University established the Scientific Center for Unmanned Aerial Systems (NCSU) for Intelligent Unmanned Aerial Systems. The university also won this year's student design bureau competition.

"We are prepared to invest significant financial resources in creating a new environment for transforming universities into third-generation universities—innovative and technological ones. A unique advantage of the Samara campus will be its indoor and outdoor testing grounds for technologies and developments in real-world conditions," emphasized Vyacheslav Fedorishchev.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also spoke with students and staff of the Volga Region State College.

The college visited by the Deputy Prime Minister and the Governor is practically the same age as the secondary vocational education system, which celebrated its 85th anniversary this year. It was founded in 1943. In the Samara Region, the college was the first participant in the federal project "Professionalism."

In classrooms and workshops, Dmitry Chernyshenko spoke with student participants and ambassadors of the project, who have achieved significant success in their professional training and championships. The future specialists demonstrated their skills in operating CNC machines, including launching the production of commemorative products for the 85th anniversary of the SPO system, the design of which they developed themselves.

In addition, staff and students presented the region's experience in systematically organizing career guidance work with schoolchildren as part of the "Ticket to the Future" project and spoke about the work of the "Movement of the First" branch.

In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Governor left commemorative notes at the college.

"Let the knowledge and skills of our graduates work for the benefit of the Samara Region and all of Russia!" wrote Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and Vyacheslav Fedorishchev also visited the Cathedral of the Protection of the Mother of God and met with Metropolitan Feodosiy of Samara and Novokuibyshevsk. The Samara Theological Seminary operates in the region, and the Volga Region Academy of Education and Arts named after St. Alexis, Metropolitan of Moscow, has been established.
