Total funding of VND3 trillion ($131.54 million) will go to the maintenance of Vietnam’s national railway infrastructure in 2022, an increase of VND2 billion ($87,700) compared to 2021. Vietnam Railways lost more than VND900 billion ($39.48 million) last year due to the pandemic. This year, if the pandemic is brought under control and the government’s economic stimulus packages are effective, the railway industry may see stability and avoid further losses.

The resumption of two passenger railway services - North-South (Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh City) and Hanoi-Hai Phong - will be piloted from October 13 to October 20 under a decision from the Ministry of Transport.

It has been proposed that the railway line linking Lao Cai in Vietnam and China's Hekou North railway station receive investment of VND2.5 trillion ($109.92 million) for upgrades.

Vietnam’s national railway network will expand over the next decade and maintain links between localities and regions and with international railway networks. The nine new routes to be built are all key traffic axes and will bring the total length of the network to 4,871 km. By 2030, the railway network will need total investment capital of VND240 trillion ($10.46 billion) and a land fund of 5,686 ha.
