The Government of Javier Milei, through the Ministry of Economy, has formally initiated the privatization process of Belgrano Cargas y Logística S.A. in a decision aimed at reconfiguring the country's freight railway system.
The presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, confirmed this Thursday that a period of 12 months has been set to carry out the sale of the company as part of the deregulation and reduction of the State plan promoted by the libertarian administration.
The measure was set forth in resolution 1049/2025 published in the Official Gazette and represents the execution of what is established in the Bases Law (27,742), which declared the company "subject to privatization," as well as the provisions of decree 67/2025, which authorized its vertical disintegration and the separation of activities.
The process includes both the public auction of rolling stock and the concession by tender of the tracks of the Belgrano, San Martín, and Urquiza lines, which cross 16 provinces. In this context, the Secretariat of Transportation must carry out a complete inventory of the available rolling stock, report on the condition of the assets, assemble the lots to be auctioned, and define the conditions for the auction.
