06.01.2025

JSC NC Kazakhstan Temir Zholy successfully completed 2024, demonstrating stability in cargo transportation and fulfillment of strategic objectives.

Cargo turnover reached 272 billion ton-kilometers, container transit increased to 1.4 million TEU, and transportation volumes through Kazakhstan-China joints increased by 12%, reaching 31.8 million tons. Exports from Kazakhstan also showed an increase of 8.8%, amounting to 13.7 million tons.

The key area of work was the modernization of infrastructure: more than 1,400 km of railways have been updated, construction of new routes continues, including Dostyk — Moiynty and a bypass line around Almaty. The commissioning of these projects in 2025 will double the transit volume to 55 million tons annually. The terminal network is also expanding: construction of hubs has begun in Aktau, Almaty, Budapest and other key points.

A breakthrough achievement was the increase in transit along the Trans-Caspian route by 30 times thanks to the terminal in Xi’an and the development of a digital corridor with PSA. The «Single Digital Window» optimized customer service, combining all of KTZ’s functions into one system. The company’s operational stability is confirmed by Fitch and S&P ratings, emphasizing its reliability in the international arena.

International Transport Corridors in Eurasian Space: Development of Latitudinal Routes

Railroads play a crucial role in the Eurasian ITCs. Because of the speed and reliability of deliveries it provides, railway transportation is starting to compete with shipment by sea (advantage of speed) and air (advantage of cost). The competition with alternative routes has to be taken into account, whereas the strategy should be built around the available advantages of the existing routes and the complementary nature of others.
