Railway transport manufacturing is a strategic sector in Uzbekistan’s economy, contributing to industrial growth and national connectivity. Despite modernization efforts, its GDP share remains low at 9.1%, trailing behind other transport modes, with limited integration into global supply chains. There is insufficient analysis of the sector’s production capacity dynamics and its impact on industrial performance within the ongoing economic reforms. This study evaluates the production and economic performance of Uzbekistan’s railway transport manufacturing industry, identifying constraints and opportunities to enhance its contribution to national development. Analysis of 2020–2025 official statistics reveals underutilized production capacity, outdated technology, and inconsistent capacity utilization across key enterprises, despite growth spurts in certain years. The manufacturing sector dominates industrial output, but railway manufacturing remains marginal. The research integrates sectoral performance metrics with policy-oriented recommendations, focusing on interregional integration, technological modernization, logistics optimization, skilled workforce development, localization, and energy efficiency. Addressing structural and operational gaps through coordinated reforms, targeted investments, and public–private partnerships could elevate railway manufacturing as a key driver of industrial diversification, reduce import dependency, and strengthen Uzbekistan’s economic resilience.
