Overview
- A judicial order requires Rutas de Lima to stop charging tolls at the Villa El Salvador and Punta Negra booths, and the company has said it will comply.
- The firm argued the ruling is arbitrary and said its earlier decision to resume charging was based on rights provided under the applicable legal framework.
- Rutas de Lima cautioned it could be unable to keep operating its concessioned roads in about three weeks if the suspension continues, citing a cash shortfall.
- The company reported negative cash generation of more than S/200 million over the past 21 months and called for a quick reversal of the measure.
- Other toll points at Huaylas, San Pedro, Arica and Quebrada Seca continue to function normally because they are not covered by the court order.
