The National Investment Agency under the President is authorized to conclude a PPP agreement with this consortium. After signing the agreement, the parties will proceed to detailed elaboration, including the financial component of the project.

As part of the project, an environmental and industrial assessment will be carried out, quarries and construction sites will be allocated, construction coordinates will be determined taking into account geological conditions, and a production base will be provided.
