GKO decree No.1416 of 9 March 1942 "On increase of spare parts production for tanks"
http://sovdoc.rusarchives.ru/#showunit& ... 78;tab=img
Execution of the spare parts production plan in January-February was completely unsatisfactory in regard to KV, T-34, T-60, V-2, and GAZ-202 spare parts, and was a complete failure as far as BT and T-26 spare parts are concerned.
(Measures to increase responsibility of industry for production of spare parts are adopted). Plan of spare parts production in the I quarter of 1942 must be completed not later than by 10 April. Plan of spare parts production for BT and T-26 in March - total 7 mln rubles.

GKO decree No.1571 of 9 April 1942 - plan of production of tanks and related equipment in the IInd quarter 1942:
http://sovdoc.rusarchives.ru/#showunit& ... 78;tab=img
Plan of spare parts production (principal types)
KV spare parts - 37 mln rubles in April-June
T-34 - 36 mln
T-60/70 - 14.5 mln
Also:
V-2 engine spare parts - 10 mln
BT and T-26 spare parts - 10.935 mln
T-37/38 - 0.8 mln
T-34 and T-60 (without breakdown) - 0.375
GAS-202 engine - 2 mln
Various electric, optical equipment, instruments and materials worth of almost 19 mln rubles
Every 5 KV tanks produced and every 10 T-34, T-60 and T-70 must be supplied with a company complement of spare parts, which is included in the plan of spare parts production.
Planned delivery of engines as spare parts to the NKO: 270 V-2 diesels (out of 4555 produced), 300 GAZ-202, 95 GAZ-202 twin engines compared to 1200 T-60 (GAZ-202) and 1220 T-70 (twin GAZ-202).

Re: Tank Technical Support
Report by the chief of GABTU lieutenant general Fedorenko on tank spare parts production in April 1942.
The plan of tank spare parts production defined in the GKO decree No.1517 of 9.4.42 wasn't carried out by industry's factories. The average percentage of competition is 62.5% in the People's Commissariat of Tank Industry and 71.1% in the People's Commissariat for Medium Machine-building.
By types
KV spare parts - 11 mln rubles planned in April/6.92 mln actual production
T-34 spare parts - 10.5 mln/6.3 mln
T-60/70 spare parts - 4.7 mln/4.9 mln
BT and T-26 - 2.1 mln/0
T-37/38 - 0.2 mln/0
KV gearboxes - 400 units/89 units
T-34 gearboxes - 70 units/55 units
V-2K and V-2-34 engines - 95 units/44 units
V-2 spare parts - 2.34 mln/1.04 mln
GAZ-202 engines - 150/38
GAZ-202 twin engines- 15/0
Production of spare parts for tanks continues to be completely unsatisfactory. Due to a lack of spare parts units of the field army and NKO repair bases or placed in a critical situation and cannot perform repair of vehicle fleet, as seen from the table below
KV - 410 tanks in need of repair as of 20.04.42 - 92 tanks repaired from 1 to 20 April
T-34 - 667/107
T-40/60 - 431/52
BT - 189/66
T-26 - 292/65
Total 1989 tanks in need of repair, 382 repaired in 20 days.
I request your order to confirm production plan set up by the GKO decree No.1571

...
Separate repair&reconstruction battalions organized according to the TO&E 010/26 - personnel strength 430 men are to be transferred by 1.5.42 to the TO&E 010/881 - personnel strength 231 men.

GKO decree No.2012 of 11 July 1942 - plan of tanks, tank engines and spare parts production in the III quarter 1942
http://sovdoc.rusarchives.ru/#showunit& ... 39;tab=img
Planned production of V-2 diesel engines - 6305 vs. 5195 KV and T-34 tanks. 500 engines go as replacements to the NKO (Army). The balance 6305-5195-500=610 are apparently supposed to be used for factory repair of KV/T-34.
Planned production of spare parts - 135.7 mln rubles worth, of them 103,25 mln at factories belonging to the People's Commissariat for Tank Industry, 14.4 mln - by the People's Commissariat for Medium Machine-building (mostly GAZ factory), the balance - elsewhere. Of the total number of spare parts
parts for KV tanks - 37 mln rubles
T-34 - 45.5 mln
T-60/70 - 15 mln (including parts for GAZ-202 engines)
BT and T-26 - about 7 mln
V-2 diesel engine - 11.3 mln
Others are various electric and optical equipment etc.
It's confirmed that newly produced tanks should be supplied with spare parts (one complement for every 5 KV and 10 T-34/T-70 tanks) which are included in the plan of spare parts production.
