Gansu Railway Investment Posts 33.6% YoY Growth in Q1, Securing a Strong Start to the 15th Five-Year Plan
2026 marks the first year of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan. Gansu Railway Investment and Construction Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Gansu Railway Investment) has resolutely implemented the deployment requirements of Gansu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government on accelerating the construction of transportation infrastructure and implementing the "Five-Strength" Action. Overcoming multiple challenges including a short effective construction period, great difficulties in winter construction and the impact of the Spring Festival holiday, the group has fully promoted railway project construction, achieving a solid "good start" in the first quarter.
China Government Network reports that Gansu Railway Investment achieved remarkable results in the first quarter, completing 5.31 billion yuan of investment in railway projects, a year-on-year increase of 33.6%. This strong growth not only reflects the group’s solid efforts in railway construction but also injects strong railway momentum into the stable economic growth of Gansu Province, living up to its responsibility as a state-owned enterprise.
Facing a critical period where both the annual investment task and growth rate hit a record high, Gansu Railway Investment has strived for excellence and pushed forward the construction in an orderly manner. The group made careful plans in advance, coordinating and deploying key links such as material reserve, personnel allocation and equipment maintenance for post-holiday resumption before the Spring Festival, laying a solid foundation for rapid and full resumption of work.
During the Spring Festival holiday, a number of key control projects maintained continuous construction, with all key post personnel on duty to ensure the progress of key projects. These projects included the Maijishan Tunnel and Wujialiang Tunnel of the Tianshui-Longnan Railway, as well as the Xigu Tunnel of the Lanzhou-Hezuo Railway. Xinhua News Agency notes that the Xigu Tunnel, the longest tunnel of the Lanzhou-Hezuo Railway, is a Class I high-risk tunnel with a total length of over 22 kilometers, playing a crucial role in the whole line construction.
After the holiday, taking advantage of the early temperature recovery, Gansu Railway Investment promptly urged all projects to fully resume work and reach production capacity quickly, tapping the construction potential to the maximum extent. To ensure the implementation of various deployments, the main leaders of the group led teams to the front line of each under-construction project, supervised the resumption of work and production on site, investigated the progress, quality and safety management, and coordinated to solve key and difficult problems.
Meanwhile, the group has established a regular communication and coordination mechanism with relevant project parties including China Railway Lanzhou Bureau Group, Ganqing Railway Company and Zhongchuan Railway Company. It has strengthened overall management in terms of fund guarantee, safety and quality, and environmental and water protection, working together to promote the formation of more physical workload, which provided solid support for the "good start" in the first quarter.
The "good start" in the first quarter is a phased achievement of Gansu Railway Investment focusing on its main responsibilities and overcoming difficulties, as well as a concrete embodiment of its commitment to serving the overall development of the province and fulfilling the economic responsibility of state-owned enterprises. At present, Gansu Railway Investment is seizing the momentum, striving in the second quarter with a more high-spirited fighting spirit, and making every effort to sprint towards the goal of "half the time, half the task".
China News Network reports that the Tianshui-Longnan Railway, independently invested and constructed by Gansu Province, has made key progress, with its Liulin Tunnel fully completed earlier this year, laying an important foundation for the subsequent track laying and erection. With continuous efforts, Gansu Railway Investment is laying a solid foundation for ensuring the successful completion of the annual investment and construction tasks and continuously helping the high-quality economic development of Gansu Province.
