India Tests HAM Model for Six New Freight Rail Lines
๐ Indian Railways is preparing to use the Hybrid Annuity Model for the first time on six new freight lines totaling 647 km across Odisha, Telangana and Jharkhand. The shift to HAM was approved by the PPPAC in early August and received wider media attention on August 31.
๐ Under the new structure, the government will cover 40% of construction costs, while private firms finance the remainder and are repaid gradually after operations begin. Indian Railways will continue to run trains, collect freight revenue and bear traffic risk.
๐ The move from DBFOT to HAM is intended to reduce investor risk where private firms do not control rail operations or freight pricing. The new lines will mainly support coal, ore, bauxite and port-linked cargo flows.
โณ The projects still require Union Cabinet approval, with bidding planned for FY2027โ28 and construction proposed to begin from April 2028.
