Boosting sand and gravel demand in the first half of the year, the national railway completed fixed assets investment of 304.9 billion yuan.

Recently, China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. announced that in the first half of the year, the national railway completed fixed assets investment of 304.9 billion yuan, an increase of 6.9% over the same period last year. This data shows that railway construction has maintained a good momentum of development, which has brought a strong pull to the demand for sand and gravel. In the first half of the year,

the State Railway Group actively promoted railway construction, gave full play to the driving role of railway investment in the whole society, and played an important role in expanding domestic demand, stabilizing growth and protecting people's livelihood. The growth of fixed assets investment provides financial guarantee for railway infrastructure construction, and also stimulates the demand of related building materials industry, especially the sand and gravel industry.

In terms of railway construction, the State Railway Group has accelerated the construction of a modern railway infrastructure system, focusing on networking, network replenishment and strong chain. A number of key projects have made new progress in the first half of the year, such as the construction of key stations such as Xi'an East Railway Station and Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station, and the construction of new lines such as Guiyang-Nanning, Fuzhou-Xiamen and Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed rail along the Yangtze River has entered the stage of joint commissioning and testing. The construction of these projects can not be separated from a large number of sand and gravel materials, which are used in road, bridge, tunnel and other construction projects, so the demand for sand and gravel has a significant pulling effect.

In addition, in the first half of the year, breakthroughs were made in the control projects of several key projects under construction, such as the Baotou to Yinchuan high-speed rail and the Guangzhou to Zhanjiang high-speed rail. The progress of these projects not only needs the support of sand and gravel materials, but also brings new development space for the sand and gravel industry. The growth of

railway fixed assets investment is good news for the sand and gravel industry. Sand and gravel enterprises should seize the opportunity to improve product quality and supply capacity to meet the needs of railway construction. At the same time, relevant departments should also strengthen the management and protection of sand and gravel resources, promote the sustainable development of the sand and gravel industry, so as to achieve a win-win coordination between economic development and resources and environment.

To sum up, the growth of national railway fixed assets investment has provided new development opportunities for the sand and gravel industry. The promotion of railway construction will continue to stimulate the demand for sand and gravel, and promote the development and growth of related enterprises. At the same time, the sand and gravel industry also needs to pay attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, and form a positive interaction with railway construction to jointly promote economic and social prosperity and progress.
