Thirteen five railway investment or up to 3.8 trillion yuan
The National Railway Administration's "Draft for the 13th Five-Year Plan for Development of Railways" (Draft for Soliciting Opinions) shows that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the scale of railway investment in fixed assets will reach 3.5 to 3.8 trillion yuan, of which the basic The construction investment will be about 3 trillion yuan and the construction of a new line of 30,000 kilometers. By 2020, the total length of railway operations in the country will reach 150,000 kilometers, including 30,000 kilometers of high-speed railways. ,
A person from China National Railway Corporation told Caixin reporter: As a matter of practice, the scale of investment in the “Draft for Comment” planning is still conservative, and the finalized plan for the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” is expected to exceed RMB 4 trillion.
According to the “Draft for Comment”, during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the national railway network should basically cover cities with more than 200,000 population and 80% of county-level administrative areas. The high-speed rail network basically covers cities with more than 500,000 population and 90% of administrative centers at the district level. It is necessary to basically realize the high-speed access circle of 1 to 8 hours for the national and regional center cities; the rapid traffic circle of 1 to 4 hours for neighboring large and medium-sized cities; and the 0.5 hour to 2 hour commuter circle within the urban group. Within this target range, it will be separately elaborated from the three aspects of high-speed railway, main line railway and inter-city railway.
1. For the high-speed railway network, the “Draft for Commenting” stated that during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the high-speed rail network shall continue to implement a number of mature high-speed rail projects on the basis of “four vertical and four horizontal” skeletons. It also listed the key construction projects in the next five years, including 23 high-speed railway projects from Beijing to Shenyang, from Beijing to Zhangjiakou to Hohhot, and from Datong to Zhangjiakou; at the same time, 21 high-speed railway projects from Zhengzhou to Wanzhou, Taiyuan to Zhengzhou, and Guiyang to Nanning were constructed. railway. By the end of 2020, the mileage of China's high-speed railways will reach 30,000 kilometers.
2. Regarding the main line railway, the “Draft for Soliciting Opinions” shows that the construction of a new line focusing on the Central and Western Interregional Trunk Railways will be promoted first, with emphasis on the construction of six railways from Xining to Chengdu, Lop Nur to Ruoqiang. The "Draft for Soliciting Comments" plans that by 2020, the size of the road network in the central and western regions will reach 90,000 kilometers. During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, 30 railways from Harbin to Jiamusi, from Qingdao to Lianyungang, etc. will be built; 27 main railway lines will be built, from Chengdu to Lanzhou, Lhasa to Nyingchi, and from Mengxi to Huazhong Railway. It is worth noting that, in the construction of the eastern trunk railway, the “Draft for Soliciting Opinions” made the first explicit statement on the two cross-strait railways that are currently controversial: It will carry out pre-research work on cross-sea channel projects such as the Bohai Straits and the Qiongzhou Strait.
Third, in the layout of inter-city railways, the “Draft for Soliciting Opinions” proposes that the construction of inter-city railways will start a new construction of 5,000 kilometers, and the scale of inter-city railways will reach 5,000 kilometers by 2020. It will focus on the construction of eight intercity railways in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta region and the Pearl River Delta region. In order to implement the "Belt and Road" strategic plan, the "opinion" stated that it will speed up the implementation of interconnection with neighboring countries' railways, build, build and expand 14 railway projects and 10 railway ports. During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the scale of railway construction was unprecedented, and the demand for railway construction funds was huge.
As for the listing of railway enterprises, the “Draft for Soliciting Opinions” clearly stated for the first time that during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, a number of railway projects with good market prospects and stable expected investment benefits should be launched. In addition to capital construction investment, the “Draft for Soliciting Opinions” also revealed that during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the investment in railway locomotives and vehicles was about 800 billion yuan. The money will give priority to upgrading the equipment of rolling stock and vehicles. The “Draft for Soliciting Opinions” pointed out that during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, we will focus on bulk purchase of new EMUs on-line high-speed railways, develop and equip new EMUs that are suitable for the characteristics of inter-city railways; passenger and cargo mixed-line railways will be fully air-conditioned and comprehensively upgraded. Locomotive and vehicle equipment modernization level.
The national railway "13th Five-Year Plan" will continue the positive development trend during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the country’s investment in railway fixed assets completed 3.58 trillion yuan, and the new line put into production 30,500 kilometers. The scale of investment in railway construction nationwide hit a record high.
