Overview

• Ositrán informed the MTC and the concessionaire that the project profile has sufficient technical and design elements to proceed to the MEF viability stage.
• The plan targets a lift from roughly 600,000 to 1,000,000 daily passengers through 31 new 1,200-passenger trains, modernization of the existing fleet, platform screen doors, new track work, upgraded signaling, and automation to cut peak headways to two minutes and then 1.5 minutes.
• The investment is estimated at about US$2.7 billion, with roughly 95% financed by the concessionaire and about 5% by the State, which the company quantified at approximately US$56 million.
• The concessionaire says it expects MEF to declare viability in December 2025 and is targeting a contract addendum for June 2026, pending the required reviews and negotiations.
• The company has proposed raising the fare to S/3.00 from S/1.50 subject to MTC approval, while the ATU reports removing 557 unauthorized public transport vehicles over 30 years old as part of ongoing formalization efforts.
