The road is 650km but it's not direct route I guess the railroad would be 100km shorter.

Swiss firm denies $1.4 billion rail deal with Iran

Stadler Rail is reportedly interested in a 1.4 billion contract to build 960 subway wagons for Iran.


The Swiss firm Stadler Rail has denied reports that it signed a $1.4 billion contract to build 960 subway wagons for Iran.

The Swiss embassy in Tehran had said on Wednesday that Stadler would put the wagons in service from the end of 2020 in the Iranian capital and its western suburb of Karaj.

“On the margin of the First Iranian-Swiss Economic Commission meeting in Tehran, a major infrastructure deal was signed. By the end of 2020, Iranians will enjoy Swiss metro trains,” the embassy tweeted.

However, news and information platform Swissinfo on Friday quoted the company as saying that there was no deal or decision but merely a public tender.

On Wednesday, Swiss Ambassador to Iran Markus Leitner and Iran’s Deputy Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade attended a signing ceremony between Stadler Rail and the Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran (IDRO).

Iran’s state news agency IRNA said Stadler would finance the project on a 14-year payback period, guaranteed by the Swiss Export Risk Insurance.

Last August, the World Bank said it was not looking to finance any projects in Iran, responding to Iranian government comments that the international lender was considering financing railway electrification in the country.

The World Bank loan was related to a 1.2 billion euro deal that Russia and Iran signed in November 2015 to electrify the Garmsar to Inche Burun route in Iran.

In July 2017, Iran’s state rail company and its Italian counterpart signed a final agreement worth 1.2 billion euros ($1.37 billion) to build a high-speed railway between the cities of Qom and Arak.

Later that month, French transport company Alstom signed a joint agreement for the construction of subway carriages in Iran.

The Export-Import Bank of China (EXIM) has also signed a $1.5 billion deal to finance the electrification of a high-speed rail line being built by Chinese companies between the Iranian cities of Tehran and Mashhad.

Iran has announced plans to invest $25 billion over the next 10 years in the modernization and expansion of its railway network.

Under the plan, Iran seeks to stretch out the nationwide railroad line to 25,000 kilometers by 2025 from under 15,000 kilometers now.

Iranian and Chinese sides attend a signing ceremony for supply of rolling stock in Tehran, March 7, 2018.


China’s CRRC Nanjing Puzhen Rail Transport on Wednesday signed a contract with Iran’s IDRO Group to supply 450 metro cars for the Iranian cities of Ahvaz, Tabriz and Shiraz.

The company, a subsidiary of China’s railway giant CRRC Corps, undertook to provide funds up to 85% of the project as well as parts for assembly at Iranian train manufacturing company Wagon Pars, IDRO Managing Director Mansour Moazzami said.

“In order to make maximum use of domestic capabilities in the field of rolling stock manufacturing, the contracting party was required to cooperate with the Wagon Pars company of Arak,” he said.

“Hence, the production and supply of wagons needed compatible with world-class technology will be carried out for the first time at Wagon Pars in partnership with a foreign company with an investment of 25 million euros,” Moazzami added.

Another Chinese company signed a deal with Iran's Ministry of Roads and Urban Development to build a railway between the cities of Shiraz and Bushehr in the country's south with $700 million of investment.

The Export-Import Bank of China (EXIM) has signed a $1.5 billion deal to finance the electrification of a high-speed rail line being built by Chinese companies between the Iranian cities of Tehran and Mashhad.

The Swiss embassy in Tehran said Stadler would put the wagons in service from the end of 2020 in the Iranian capital and its western suburb of Karaj.

Moazzami said negotiations have been held on supply of 5,000 metro cars worth more than 6 billion euros, most of which have been finalized and will gradually be announced.

In July 2017, Iran’s state rail company and its Italian counterpart signed a final agreement worth 1.2 billion euros ($1.37 billion) to build a high-speed railway between the cities of Qom and Arak.

gwadar? what is that? I looked up on google maps I can't find anything. Just small village type slums and large round about in the middle. It doesnt have any connection what so ever with rest of pakistan just a small road to karachi.

chabarhar have rails, roads connected to it. two big universities. Already busy port.

What and where exactly gwadar investment going to?

You can make anything look good by adding music and cool effects. Doesn't change the ground reality. It is sad to see that gwadar is also under the wrap of corruption. The only facilities available is for chinese workers there. As shown in your own video. I was a great supporter of gwadar project until I visited that place last week and talked with few people. All they have to say "no electricity, no water, work halted from 2007, chinese worker come stay and go back". That is all. Such sad state of affair.

Water situation is same as karachi but getting worse water mafia have reached gwadar selling 7000rs 10000rs tanker water. desalinized water only available to sea port completely empty right now and PC hotel and places where chinese are living. There is no work on connecting gwadar with rest of pakistan. 0 schools, hospitals. Just miles and miles of slums.

How can gwadar grow without any highway or railway connections. without water. without power, without gas. Just loans loads and loads of loans lol.

well it all depend on what you're planning to do with Gwadar , if you plan to build a city , then let be honest ,the guys in charge have no clue of what they are doing . but if ts just a terminal to empty and load cargo ships then you can get away with that , for example you can look at our kharg Island .it handle 98 percent of Iran crude oil export

I don't know maybe? The vision of gwadar is of mega city in balochistan. Main earning is envision to be cargo delivered to china, central asia. I don't see this happening real soon. Why? because there is well no highway connection. For city or terminal or anything to function first and foremost you need to connect it to rest of the country. How will cargo reach china without any highway? Will we take another loan for that? Is there any railway connection. Hell nooo, far far no. These things are pretty much available in karachi. Next no water or electricity to gwadar. It is like govn is missing 101 to how to biuld a city. Supply it with power and water but nooo. How will mafias earn if they dont sell water for 7000rs, earing millions?

Lets say it is just a terminal. Will this work without any connection to country? What are you planing to do? ships to dock in gwadar and process it in karachi then transfer to its destination? Since only thing connecting it is makran coastal highway. WHICH is deteriorating day by day.

In short for next 30 to 50 years! we have 0 ZERO earning from gwadar and have to pay off its incredible loan for that period of time. BUT wait one more nonsense IRAN have completed its infrastructure. Along with cargo railway network along with road network connecting Afghanistan to chabahar. That network can be use to central asia and china as well.

WE ARE FUCKED.

I dont care much about karachi since there is no major loans to pay up for development of karachi. WE TOOK LOANS TO BUILT gwadar for absolutely nothing.

We are fckin genius

Good to see Iran investing in the developmental projects for its people. Its alaways good to see countries striving to move forward and improve their people's living standards.
