The Chinese company intends to repay 250 million BGN – the debt of BDZ to bondholders. The investment will be guaranteed with the annual capital subsidy for the Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ) from the state budget.
Some of the locomotives and railcars that will be made in the plant will be used by the state railways in order to renovate the rolling stock, Alexiev said.
