The Supervisory Agency for Investment in Public Use Transport Infrastructure (Ositran) is carrying out permanent supervision of the Huancayo-Huancavelica Railway modernization project, one of the country's most important railway concessions that incorporates the BIM methodology as a real-time technical monitoring tool.
The railway route update covers 128.2 kilometers divided into two sections with seven stations, 20 stops, 15 bridges, and 38 tunnels. Regarding rolling stock, the responsible company is committed to providing two new diesel-electric locomotives, three new coaches, five freight cars, and four DMU railcars with four coaches each.
The initiative was concessioned to the company Concesionaria Ferroviaria del Perú S. A. (Cofeperú) under a co-financed Public-Private Partnership model. The contract, signed on May 28, 2025, establishes a concession period of 30 years, valid until May 2055, and an investment commitment of USD 339,828,766.96 without IGV.
According to reports from the concessionaire, the Final Engineering Study (EDI) for Civil Works shows 67% progress as of May 2026. As part of its supervisory function, Ositran has already completed two key milestones in this process: the contracting of specialized supervision on May 22, 2026, and the issuance of its technical opinion regarding the rolling stock EDI on May 24 of the same year.
In parallel, the agency conducts field inspections in critical sections of the route. The most recent visits covered areas such as Aguas Calientes, Cuenca, the Chinche Bridge, and the Manuel Tellería and Huancavelica stations, allowing verification of the current state of the track and comparison of the conceptual design of future structures, such as the Chanchas Bridge and the exhibition hall of the Huancavelica Station, with the technical standards required by the contract.
According to the updated schedule, the approval of the EDIs is estimated to be finalized on December 30, 2026, financial closure in April 2027, and the start of physical works in May 2027.
