Argentina Ferrosur Roca rail concession extension

Overview

The Argentine government has extended the freight train concession for the Roca Line by one year via resolution 1498. Signed by Economy Minister Luis Caputo, the extension allows Ferrosur Roca S.A. to operate the 3,110-kilometer network until September 10, 2027, or until a new contractual scheme is finalized.

The network connects production hubs in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Neuquén, Río Negro, and La Pampa to major ports and distribution centers. This decision comes during a broader crisis in the Argentine railway sector, characterized by a declared railway emergency, significant budget cuts, and a halt in infrastructure maintenance and track renewal projects following 2024 adjustment policies.
