The Brazilian Development Bank (Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES) announced on this Friday the new financing conditions for the deployment of the High Speed Rail (HSR) after changes in the project bidding model. For the first stage of bidding, whose submission of proposals is scheduled for August 13 this year, the loan is limited to $2.59 billion on the base date of December 2008, adjusted by IPCA (Broad National Consumer Price Index – $3.22 billion, values in December 2012), with TJLP interest rate (Long Term Interest Rate, currently at 5%) plus 1% and term of up to 30 years.
The HSR will be 511 km long, connecting the cities of Campinas, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The train will have a top speed of around 300 km/h and stops in other cities along the route.
According to a statement issued by BNDES, the first phase of the project includes the implementation of signaling, electrification and communication systems, supply of rolling stock, acoustic protection, and system operation and maintenance. The company responsible for executing this stage will be selected through an auction. BNDES will provide financial support to the concessionaire that wins the bid.
BNDES’ support will be in the form of project finance, directly.
