ARThe Argentine government is accelerating the privatization of the Belgrano Cargas railway network, which includes three strategic rail lines: Belgrano, Urquiza, and San Martín. The process involves separate tenders for infrastructure, operations, and rolling stock, allowing potential bidders to compete for different segments. However, the legal framework allows for integrated bids where a single entity could manage both the tracks and trains, potentially enabling companies like Grupo México to acquire all parts of the system. Local competitors include the Pro-Ferrocarril Belgrano consortium, composed of major agribusiness firms, while international players and national logistics companies are also considering participation. The government has introduced regulatory incentives, including financial support measures, to attract investment.
