Meta Is From The Ministry Of Infrastructure. The Eight-Year Plan Is For Railways To Be Responsible For Transporting Nearly Double The Cargo They Currently Do.

The federal government announced last Thursday (08/08) the goal of doubling the share of railways in the country’s transportation matrix by 2027.
Currently, Brazilian railways account for 15% of cargo transport, and the goal for the next eight years is for that percentage to increase to 29%. To achieve this, the Government Expects To Auction Concessions Like The One Rumo Signed With Norte-Sul Aiming To Reduce Brazil’s Costs.

The announcement was made by the Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Freitas, during a lecture in São Paulo and is an initiative that will trigger many other sectors, such as ports, by facilitating the flow of national production.

The minister stated that solutions are being analyzed, as the government lacks resources for investments, and the way to get projects off the ground is through creativity.
A good example is the Midwest Integration Railways, which should transport grain production from the region and will be built by Vale, as it was given in exchange for renewing the concession contract for the Vitória-Minas Railway.

Tarcísio also stated that contracts of road and airport concessionaires, which are currently facing financial difficulties, should not be renewed but will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and may even be canceled before the expiration date.

The statement is due to the operator of Viracopos Airport in Campinas (SP), and BR-040, which passes through Goiás, the Federal District, and Minas Gerais wanting to return the concessions before the previously established concession deadline.

But the primary objective is to make amendments to contracts aiming to keep highways and airports in good condition and operational until it is possible to transfer the assets to other companies.
