Mongolia's Tavan Tolgoi-Gashuunsukhait railway is scheduled to be officially put into operation on September 9 after being delayed from the previous date on July 1, according to local media and sources.
An opening ceremony of the 267-km railway, which started construction in December 2019, will be held on September 9. Tavantolgoi Railway is the client, while Bodi International is the EPC contractor for this project, according to polit.mn.
The railway had launched the first trial run on July 9, according to Sxcoal's earlier report.
Mongolian officials have calculated that 20-50 million tonnes of coal is expected to be transported annually once the rail line is operational, and the cost of transporting coal will drop from $40/t to $8/t.
