Transnet outlines ‘low-road’ investment scenario amid demand uncertainty

State-owned freight logistics group Transnet reports that its multibillion-rand capital expenditure (capex) plan, which has already been rephased in response to weaker-than-expected market demand, could be further moderated under what it terms a “low-road scenario”. Outlining its revised capital plan in its recently released 2016 integrated report, the group shows that, under its official 2017 plan, it will invest R277.8-billion over the seven-year period to 2023 and between R340-billion to R380-billion over the next ten years.
