The federal government received the 14th requirement from private investors interested in building and operating a railway in the country by the instrument of railway authorization, established in provisional measure No. 1065/2021. With this, the total investments provided in the modal have reached $ 80.5 billion for 5,360 kilometers of new rails, crossing 12 states.

The most recent request was filed with the Ministry of Infrastructure (Minfra) on September 16th. It is a proposal formulated by the Petrocity company, which operates in the ports sector: the company wants to connect the federal capital to the ports of Espirito Santo. To do so, it proposed to build and operate the Railroad Juscelino Kubitschek (EFJK), a stretch with 1,108 kilometers of extension.

The project passes through DF, Goiás, and Minas Gerais until arriving at Barra de San Francisco (ES). The investment is for R$ 13.5 billion in the railway segment alone. The company also plans to inject another R $ 700 million into six transshipping and loading units located along the rails.
