Logistics Companies Agreed to Build the Railway with the Ministry of Infrastructure So That Both Can Explore the Stretch and Assume 100% of the Project Risk

The logistics companies Rumo and VLI obtained federal authorization for the development of the railway construction project between the city of Uberlândia and Chaveslândia, a district of Santa Vitória. The announcement of the release by the Federal Government for the companies to explore the site was made in September of last year by G1. The expectation is that R$ 2.77 billion will be invested in the 276.5 km stretch.

New Legal Framework for Railways

The logistics companies will operate based on the new railway authorization model established by the Legal Framework for Railways. According to the new document, it is the responsibility of the private sector to project, build, and operate new railway sectors under the authorization of the Government. In this contractual form, the investment and potential business risks are entirely borne by the private sector.

Based on this, the logistics companies Rumo and VLI will have the autonomy to develop their own projects in the relevant stretch. However, if one of the two logistics companies cannot proceed, the project will be managed by the one that can make the business viable while ensuring compliance with safety standards and operational capacity, both required by the Federal Government. And this applies not only to licensees but also to service concessionaires for transportation in Brazil.

The new operational model is different from the former railway concession projects, where all project details were defined by the government, which offered them at auction for private companies to implement. The new authorizations are for constructing and exploring railway services, provided they do not present locational incompatibility.

The Legal Framework for Railways does not foresee discretionary solutions for evaluating ventures, which opens the door for market solutions to enter the competition. That is, if the contractors meet the requirements of the legislation, the decision on construction will have a market solution, competing for each company to conduct the studies to implement the railways.
