Government relaxes private railway rules
The government has issued a draft regulation exempting private operators from the requirement of obtaining a license to establish and operate railways within private facilities, provided that these do not connect directly to the national network or impact its safety. The regulation specifies that these exemptions are limited to internal railways within industrial, logistics, or mining facilities, ports, factory yards, production lines, and enclosed recreational tracks. It requires that the facility be owned or controlled by the applicant, have low to medium risk levels, and that engineering studies, risk assessments, and a comprehensive safety system be submitted. Operators must also provide insurance covering civil liability and environmental damages. The regulation is subject to oversight by the authority, which will review exemption requests within 30 days and has the authority to revoke or modify them if conditions are violated. The initial exemption period is up to one year, extendable to three years in cases of operational stability, with continued adherence to procedures, maintenance, and safety standards.
