The volume of the state defense order in Dagestan is projected to increase to RUB 10 billion in 2024, up from approximately RUB 8.5 billion in 2023. The republican register includes 15 enterprises in the defense industrial complex. The increase in volumes will mainly be due to the flagship defense plants. However, there is a challenge of personnel shortages, as managers report on a lack of personnel at Dagdiesel, Gadzhiev and Kizlyar plants. the regional Minister of Industry and Trade Nizam Khalilov says.
