If he becomes the steel supplier for the North-South high-speed railway project, 'steel king' Tran Dinh Long commits to providing 6 million tons of various types of steel to serve the project at a price lower than imported goods.
Currently, the North-South high-speed railway project is being discussed. Responding to PV.VietNamNet , Mr. Tran Dinh Long - Chairman of Hoa Phat Group shared: Hoa Phat fully supports the Government's policy of building the North-South high-speed railway, especially highly appreciating the requirement of "must use" goods produced by domestic enterprises in bidding packages.
“According to calculations by consulting units, the project needs about 6 million tons of steel of various types. These are all types of steel that Vietnam can produce,” said Mr. Long.
“Steel King” Tran Dinh Long revealed that in the past 3 years, Hoa Phat has been researching the steel rail product line. Therefore, the production of steel rails for high-speed railways is completely within the group’s capabilities.

In fact, Hoa Phat is surveying and proposing investment plans for a number of large projects in Phu Yen province, including the Iron and Steel Complex project. The product structure here is expected to focus on high-quality steel lines for mechanical engineering, such as steel plates, structural steel, shaped steel, steel rails, etc.
“If becoming the steel supplier for this project, Hoa Phat commits to ensuring the supply of 6 million tons of various types of steel for the project, especially high-speed rail steel and high-strength prestressed steel,” Mr. Tran Dinh Long emphasized.
In addition, Mr. Long also committed that all types of steel ensure international quality standards, in accordance with the technical requirements of the bid packages; at the same time, ensuring delivery time according to project schedule.
Regarding the price of steel of all kinds for the North-South high-speed railway project, the Chairman of Hoa Phat Group ensures "competitive prices, lower than imported steel prices".
Previously, speaking at the seminar on high-speed railway on October 29, Mr. Nguyen Danh Huy, Deputy Minister of Transport, said: In the process of developing the project to submit to the Politburo, then to the Central Government, as well as the feasibility report that the Government submitted to the National Assembly this time, we all proposed policies and mechanisms to help domestic enterprises participate.
“For example, we impose conditions that the general contractor must use domestically produced goods and services. We make this a prerequisite for contractors to participate. Or we propose policies to the National Assembly, assigning tasks to 100% state-owned enterprises, or placing orders with domestic enterprises, for items and goods that can be produced domestically,” Mr. Huy shared.
| In the pre-feasibility study report of the North-South high-speed railway project, the Ministry of Transport said that the route is about 1,541km long, starting at Ngoc Hoi station (Hanoi) and ending at Thu Thiem station (HCMC). The railway will pass through 20 provinces and cities; there will be 23 passenger stations and 5 freight stations, each station will have a planned development space of 250-300 hectares, except for Thu Thiem station with an expected scale of about 17 hectares. |
