Grupo México Transportes confirmed its interest in participating in the privatization of Argentine freight trains and is analyzing an investment exceeding US$3,000 million to modernize key corridors linked to agriculture, mining, and energy, in a sign of confidence towards the privatization process promoted by the government of Javier Milei.
The Mexican company, one of the main railway operators in North America, will seek to compete for the operation of the Belgrano, San Martín, and Urquiza lines, considered strategic for reducing logistics costs and improving the export competitiveness of various productive sectors. The investment would include infrastructure, rolling stock, workshops, locomotives, and operational systems.
GMXT's interest comes just days before the government publishes the terms to advance with one of the most relevant privatization processes in freight transport. The company maintains that Argentina is experiencing an unprecedented window of opportunity, marked by economic reforms, greater regulatory predictability, and a new favorable climate for long-term investments.
Railway modernization is seen as a central condition to support the growth of mining, Vaca Muerta, and agro-industry. In particular, the freight corridors could become a decisive tool for transporting lithium, copper, energy inputs, agro-industrial production, and goods intended for export.
