Future Projects For New Private Railways In Brazil Already Exceed Billions Of Reais

Taking into account all the projects approved by the Federal Government through Pro Trilhos, the amounts have already surpassed R$ 102.85 billion in investments and 6,880.69 km of new tracks in 14 states of Brazil. So far, the Ministry of Infrastructure has received 79 requests through Pro Trilhos.

In total, 13 companies have already submitted and had their proposals authorized. The new tracks will traverse the territory of 14 federative units, from which they have origin and destination.

In addition to the private railway at the Port of Açu in Rio de Janeiro, the authorized railroads pass through São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Pará, Santa Catarina, Maranhão, Bahia, Pernambuco, Piauí, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, and the Federal District.

Despite granting powers to the private sector more promptly and with less bureaucracy, due to the modern permission model of the New Legal Framework for Railways, all projects, even if already authorized, undergo documentation verification and detailed analysis of the proposal.

The requests are analyzed by the National Secretariat of Terra Transport (SNTT) and the National Agency of Terrestrial Transport (ANTT), which check the alignment of the project with the implemented railway network, whether granted or authorized, and the compliance of the undertaking with public policies of the sector and national transportation.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Vietnam opens its market to Brazilian beef calves and grants access to a destination that has already imported over US$ 3.5 billion from the national agribusiness, expanding exports, reducing waste, and boosting slaughterhouses across the country.

Brazil consolidates itself as one of the signatory countries of the Artemis program and strengthens its partnership with NASA in projects related to food production, lunar research, and space technology, focusing on the upcoming crewed missions to the Moon.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.
