A series of specific policies have been researched and proposed by the Ministry of Transport to implement investment and construction, striving to bring the Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway line to the finish line before 2030.
In the Submission to the Prime Minister on the pre-feasibility study report of the investment project to build the Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway line, the Ministry of Transport determined that this is an important national project, large-scale, with new technology, being implemented for the first time in Vietnam, requiring the application of specific and special policies to meet the completion schedule before 2030.

On that basis, the Ministry of Transport proposed 17 policy groups under the authority of the National Assembly.
Of which, 13/19 policies in Resolution No. 172/2024/QH15 of the National Assembly on investment policy for high-speed railway projects on the North-South axis are proposed to be similarly applied to the Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway project.
The policies include: Capital structure for the project; Development, exploitation of land funds and added value from land in the vicinity of railway stations; Exploitation of minerals for common construction materials; Dumping sites for construction solid waste and topsoil of land specialized for rice cultivation.
Along with that are policies on: science and technology development and recruitment, training, and use of human resources; Industrial development and technology transfer; Authority to decide on adjusting investment policies and projects; Competition for architectural plans for stations and bridges; Compensation, support, resettlement, and assignment of localities to carry out conversion and site clearance procedures; Establishing total investment, package estimates...
The Ministry of Transport also proposed adding four policy groups under the authority of the National Assembly.
Specifically, for the group of policies on adjusting related planning, the Ministry of Transport proposes that competent authorities consider and allow not having to carry out planning adjustment procedures in cases where project implementation is different from related planning approved by competent authorities.
Project adjustment contents will be updated in the planning during periodic implementation review.

Ensuring implementation progress, a mechanism allowing investors to simultaneously prepare pre-feasibility study reports, feasibility study reports, technical designs, bidding documents... if necessary is also proposed.
The Ministry of Transport recommends that competent authorities consider and allow investors to appoint experienced international contractors to coordinate with domestic consulting units to prepare feasibility study reports, post-basic design, supervision, construction contractors, equipment suppliers, etc.
Regarding mechanisms and policies under the Government's authority, the Ministry of Transport proposes 6 policies.
In which, the Ministry proposed that Vietnam Railway Corporation be allowed to receive technology transfer to produce vehicles and equipment for the project; Allow the corporation to increase its charter capital from the budget to carry out technology transfer and produce vehicles for the project.
Investors of national railway system investment projects with speeds under 200km/h and urban railways must place orders with Vietnam Railways Corporation for all vehicles used for the project (except for projects with international commitments). This is also one of the notable special mechanisms proposed by the Ministry of Transport.
