ProInversión, Peru's public-private partnership promotion agency under the Ministry of Economy and Finance, has announced it will take on the technical structuring and advisory role for the Lima-Chosica commuter train project, partnering closely with the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) and the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima. This initiative aims to enhance urban mobility by leveraging existing rail infrastructure from the Central Railway for passenger transport, with plans for phased expansions including a dedicated parallel track, level crossings, and safety upgrades to meet international standards. The project addresses the daily commuting needs of thousands traveling between central Lima and the eastern suburb of Chosica, promoting sustainable and efficient alternatives to road congestion through short-, medium-, and long-term stages tailored to demand and technical feasibility.

While specific investment figures for this segment remain undisclosed, it aligns with broader ProInversión efforts like the Line 1 metro extension (over US$3.2 billion invested, serving 3.73 million residents) and the ambitious Line 2 metro (45-minute Ate-Callao link with US$5 billion in funding), all under the innovative APP 5.0 framework emphasizing digitalization, financial resilience, and urban competitiveness. An inter-institutional agreement is expected to be signed imminently, marking the start of detailed planning and underscoring Peru's push for transformative rail networks to boost the quality of life and economic vitality.
