Lima, February 25, 2026.- Global expertise for projects that transform transport. PROINVERSIÓN, the British Embassy in Peru, and the Urban Transport Authority organized the railway workshop “Strategic Governance for High-Impact Projects,” a space for cooperation to share international experiences and best governance practices and to build capacity for the development of projects such as the Lima–Ica Railway and Lines 3 and 4 of the Lima Metro.
During the event, Luis Del Carpio, Executive President of PROINVERSIÓN, reported that our country is consolidating a new generation of railway megaprojects under the PPP 5.0 Model – Comprehensive Governance of the Investment System, supported by Law No. 32441, which strengthens the Agency’s technical role as a promoting entity (EPTP) and centralizes the prioritization of National Government projects.
He announced that PROINVERSIÓN is currently promoting a portfolio of high-impact railway projects worth more than US$ 20 billion, which will be promoted under the new PPP 5.0 model, positioning Peru as one of the most important railway infrastructure markets in Latin America for the next decade.
The portfolio includes the Lima–Ica Railway (US$ 6,542 million) and the San Juan de Marcona–Andahuaylas Railway (US$ 8,162 million). In addition, Lines 3 and 4 of the Lima Metro are being evaluated as potential PPPs, with estimated investments exceeding US$ 10 billion combined, expanding mass transit coverage in the capital.
During the event, it was specified that the Peruvian railway system currently comprises 1,957 km of network, 87% of which is for public use. Notable projects within this ecosystem include concessions such as the Central Railway, the South and Southeast Railway, Lines 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro, and the Huancayo–Huancavelica Railway.
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR COMPETITIVENESS
The railway expansion seeks to improve logistics competitiveness, reduce transport costs, boost economic corridors, and strengthen territorial integration, particularly in strategic areas linked to ports such as Callao, Chancay, Marcona, and industrial development in Lima and Ica.
With the new institutional framework, Peru aims to consolidate a railway portfolio structured under international standards, with greater transparency, predictability and efficiency in contract management.
