Addis Ababa, March 17, 2026 — Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh inaugurated the AMG-Indode Railway Line, described as Ethiopia's first railway infrastructure project financed entirely by a domestic private company. The ceremony took place during an inspection visit by the Deputy Prime Minister.
In statements reported by the state-affiliated Ethiopian News Agency (ENA), Tiruneh said the project represents the opening of a new chapter for the country in securing its logistics sovereignty. He emphasized the government's commitment to supporting private sector involvement in national infrastructure development.
The AMG-Indode line is a significant development in Ethiopia's transport sector, which has historically relied on state-led or foreign-funded projects. Details on the exact length, capacity, and cost of the newly inaugurated line were not immediately available in official announcements.
The move aligns with broader government policies to attract domestic investment into strategic economic areas. Analysts note that enhancing logistics infrastructure is critical for Ethiopia's economic growth and regional trade ambitions.
