Davit Peradze, General Director of "Georgian Railway" declares, that 2022 will be a historic year for the company, because the railway is 150 years old.

As he has noted in an interview with Forbes Talks, Georgian Railway will have upgraded locomotives and carriages, as well as new infrastructure from 2022.

"Despite the pandemic, the company has planned to invest quite a lot in the railway infrastructure. We have not made large investments over the years, so now we have to strengthen our corridor. 92% of our revenue comes from freight and all resources are spent on infrastructure, that it is quite difficult.

This year, it has been for the first time in the history of independent Georgia that the company purchased 100 semi-carriages. JSC Vagonmshenebeli manufactured these carriages and it was the first case after the 89-90s. Semi-carriages are highly demanded in our corridor. It mainly accommodates dry and bulk cargo. In this regard, Georgia has great potential, as silicon-manganese, sulfur, limestone is exported with semi-carriages. I would like to add that new railway track with a length of 32 km has been constructed this year, including on Rikoti Pass as well as other sections. We also plan to build new railway tracks of 42 km for the next year," - said the General Director of Georgian Railway.
