The final meeting of the Board of Directors of JSC Russian Railways for 2024 was held in Moscow under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev.
In 2024, the company’s investment program reached a record volume: it amounted to almost 1.5 trillion rubles. In the year of the 50th anniversary of the legendary BAM, the railway workers fully fulfilled their obligations. The second stage of the Eastern Polygon development was completed and the target carrying capacity parameter of 180 million tons was achieved. The legendary construction project, which began 50 years ago, continues with the efforts of a new generation of railway workers and builders who are successfully coping with the tasks set.
The passenger complex of Russian Railways showed exceptional results in 2024: almost 1.3 billion people were transported in total – a record figure for the past 16 years, growth by 2023 was 7.2%. One of the main social tasks for the country was fulfilled – passenger transportation to the south was ensured as part of the summer health campaign.
A significant event in 2024 was the start of the project to build the country’s first high-speed railway line Moscow – St. Petersburg, 679 km long, which will reduce travel time between Moscow and St. Petersburg by almost half – from 4 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that Russian Railways is currently facing equally ambitious tasks. In pursuance of the President’s May decree, the Government has completed the formation of the national project “Efficient Transport System”, in which rail transport plays an important role. In order to achieve a 1.5-fold increase in transportation volumes along international transport corridors, it is envisaged to continue developing approaches to the seaports of the Azov-Black Sea and North-West basins and the infrastructure of the Eastern Polygon of Railways, and work is continuing on the implementation of the high-speed railway project.
“JSC Russian Railways successfully solves large-scale tasks to increase passenger transportation, build new transport and logistics routes and strengthen technological sovereignty. In modern conditions, the company ensures high quality and safety of passenger and freight transportation. According to the results of 2024, rail transport accounted for 83% of freight turnover and about 28% of passenger turnover of the entire transport system of the country. I am confident that the team of JSC Russian Railways will make every effort to achieve the goals set by the President of the Russian Federation and the successful implementation of all plans outlined for the current year,” said Vitaly Savelyev.
