RZD has proposed raising its transportation tariff for all types of cargo by 6.8% in 2017 or to differentiate between tariff increases depending on types of cargo. The company’s differentiated tariff proposal envisages a 8.2% rise for first-class cargoes, excluding coal and ore, and for mineral fertilizers; a 6.8% rise for coal, ore and second-class cargoes; and retention of a 4.5% tariff for third-class cargoes.
The Federal Antimonopoly Service’s Director Igor Artemyev said the service proposed increasing the company’s tariff below 4.9% in 2017, while Russian Railways CEO Oleg Belozyorov said the company is studying differentiating tariff growth in 2017 by classes or types of cargoes with the general growth below inflation.
