Brazil infrastructure and transport development

Overview

Brazil is advancing significant infrastructure development across the machinery, highway, railway, and energy sectors. In the machinery market, demand for ‘Yellow Line’ equipment is projected to reach 35,843 units by 2026, while the rental market is expected to reach R$ 52.9 billion. High interest rates are driving growth in leasing as companies seek to preserve capital.

Railway infrastructure is seeing renewed momentum. The J&F Group and other major companies have expressed interest in the auction to reactivate the 1,600-kilometer Malha Oeste railway, with the ANTT expected to release the auction notice by December. Additionally, Sudene has approved R$ 77.2 million from the Northeast Development Fund (FDNE) for the Transnordestina railway project, which has a total estimated budget of R$ 15 billion. On a national level, the Ministry of Transport has introduced a public call model to revitalize approximately 10,000 kilometers of idle or deactivated railways through authorization contracts lasting up to 99 years. In the Distrito Federal, a R$ 29.2 billion plan aims to implement 119.7 kilometers of new rail lines and 114 stations.

Highway development continues through new concessions and regional works. In Mato Grosso, the Consórcio Rota Multimodal won a 30-year concession for 634 kilometers of strategic highways. The federal highway concession portfolio managed by ANTT involves R$ 306 billion in planned works. To support connectivity, the government launched the National Highway Connectivity Policy, aiming to expand mobile coverage to 57,100 kilometers of federal highways by 2030 through mandatory roaming and 5G expansion.

In the energy sector, Aneel has approved a transmission auction for October 30, involving an estimated R$ 8.9 billion investment to construct or extend 1,866 kilometers of transmission lines.
