In January 2026, China's railway construction will continue to maintain the momentum of high-quality and efficient promotion, and fixed assets investment will achieve a successful start. It was learned from China National Railway Corporation that China Railway completed fixed assets investment of 46.3 billion yuan in the same month, up 5.5% year on year, fully releasing the multiplier effect of railway investment, effectively driving the growth of investment in the whole society, laying a solid foundation for railway construction throughout the year and achieving a good start.

Since 2026, China Railway Group has been deeply implementing the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, closely following the main line of serving the country's major strategies and regional economic development, fully leveraging the advantages of the long railway construction industry chain, wide radiation, and strong driving force, accurately utilizing the national "dual" support policies, and accelerating the construction of various railway projects while strictly controlling winter construction safety and engineering quality. A number of key engineering projects have made breakthrough progress and shown a good trend.

In terms of preparation for the opening of the new line, the Lanxi to Jiande section of the Jin Jian high-speed railway has entered the trial operation stage; The Shandong section of the Xiong'an New Area Shangqiu high-speed railway and the Xi'an Shiyan high-speed railway have officially started static acceptance, and both lines have entered the countdown stage for opening and operation.

It is reported that in 2025, China's railway fixed assets investment has broken through the 900 billion yuan mark, reaching 901.5 billion yuan, a record high, laying a solid foundation for railway construction in 2026. In 2026, China Railway Group plans to promote national key projects with high quality and put more than 2000 kilometers of new lines into production. Next, China Railway Group will continue to implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, anchor the goal of building a world-class modern railway network, focus on the core tasks of networking, network supplementation, and chain strengthening, further strengthen construction organization and management, widely apply new engineering technologies and processes, strictly strengthen the full process control of safety, quality, investment, and environmental protection, promote the construction of key railway projects with high quality and efficiency, continue to play the driving role of railway construction investment in upstream and downstream industries, and provide strong support for expanding domestic demand in all aspects, promoting regional coordinated development, and high-quality economic and social development.
