The National Infrastructure Fund (Fonadin) granted non-recoverable support for the Mexico-Toluca Interurban Train project for 3,500 million pesos as an advance of risk capital in 2021.

In that year, the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) made an estimate of the investment needed to complete the construction and equipment of the project and an agreement was reached so that its financing will be carried out through the resources allocated in the Budget of Expenditures of the Federation to the SICT for said project, plus an initial contribution that the SICT will request from the Fonadin for the granting of the allocation to operate and exploit the project.

This contribution will be financed with risk capital from Fonadin and credit from the Development Bank and the commercial bank.

In April 2021, at the request of the SICT, the Fonadin granted a non-recoverable support of 3,500 million pesos as an advance of risk capital, so that the SICT continues with the pace of construction of the project, an amount that will be recognized as part of the initial contribution, once the title of allocation of the project has been formalized in favor of the fund.
