Russia's federal Industry Development Fund (FRP) disclosed a RUB 950 million (approx. USD 12 million) concessional loan under its "Development Projects" programme to biopharmaceutical company Nanolek LLC, financing purchase of high-tech equipment for Russia's first domestic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine production line. The facility, part of a RUB 7.5 billion total investment in the Orichevsky District of Kirov Region, opened 25-29 October 2025 and produces the "Tsegardeks" vaccine at an initial capacity of over 600,000 doses per year, rising to 3-3.5 million doses annually by 2027 with a planned second production line.

Russia's federal Industry Development Fund (FRP) disclosed a RUB 930 million (approx. USD 11.4 million) concessional loan to ООО "ПК "Промтрактор" (Promtraktor Production Company LLC, part of Kontsern Traktornye Zavody) in Cheboksary, Chuvash Republic, funding purchase of 98 units of high-tech casting and machining equipment as part of a RUB 1.2 billion total modernisation.
