An Alstom-led consortium has signed four contracts with Egyptian National Railways worth a combined €690 million to modernise two strategic rail corridors in Egypt. Alstom’s share of the total is approximately €300 million, with the 6th of October–Alexandria corridor valued at €550 million and the Belbes–10th of Ramadan line at around €140 million. The projects will introduce ETCS Level 1 signalling, upgraded telecommunications, reinforced power supply, and comprehensive civil and track rehabilitation, cutting travel time on the 6th of October–Alexandria route by nearly 80 minutes. The consortium includes Rowad Modern Engineering and Concrete Plus, which will handle technical buildings, MEP works, and civil and track upgrades, while achieving around 50 percent local content. The contracts support Egypt Vision 2030 by strengthening freight links between dry ports, industrial zones, and major seaports.
