This was announced by Deputy Transport Minister Maksat Kaliakparov at a government briefing. According to him, the trains have already undergone testing. At the same time, another deputy transport minister, Talgat Lastayev, had earlier said the railcars would be launched in April, but that did not happen.

Here is how his colleague commented on the issue today:
In pilot mode, Stadler railcars were tested. Technical issues were identified on the operator’s side. Stadler has undertaken to eliminate them, and in the coming month we literally plan to put them into operation and launch them on the route.he said.
