History
2024: CPPK bankrupt AFM-Servers
In August 2024, it became known that the largest suburban railway carrier in Russia, Central PPK JSC, plans to file a lawsuit against the IT integrator AFM-Servers LLC. The company's debt to CPPK is ₽7,5 million. This is evidenced by the data of the Federal Register of Bankruptcy Notices, confirmed by the file cabinet of arbitration cases. The conflict was caused by non-fulfillment of obligations under the contract for the development and implementation of a software product. Read more here
2012: over 85 billion rubles will be allocated for the development of suburban passenger transportation infrastructure
Russian Railways assured that suburban transportation in Russia cannot be earned, so the authorities must subsidize them. In 2011, Russian Railways completely abandoned independent suburban transportation - they are engaged in suburban passenger companies (PPK), which are owned by Russian Railways (as a rule, manages a controlling stake) and the regions. The subjects of the federation themselves agree with the PPK on the schedule of transportation and the cost of tickets. If the regional authorities want to make tariffs lower, then, according to the authors of the reform, PPKs should receive subsidies from budgets.
In December 2012, it became known that the Moscow budget and Russian Railways will allocate more than 85 billion rubles for the development of suburban passenger infrastructure in 2012-2020. The corresponding agreement, as reported in a press release from the capital's government, was signed by the head of RZHDladimir Yakunin and Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
According to the agreement, Moscow will provide 47 billion rubles, Russian Railways - 38 billion rubles.
According to RIA Novosti, at the signing ceremony, Sobyanin said that the funds would be directed to "the highest priority, hot directions." In particular, investments will go to the construction of new main routes on the Kursk, Savelovsky, Kazan, Yaroslavl and Gorky directions[3].
2011: Profit - 4.7 billion rubles
CPPK is one of the few electric train operators that make a profit. In 2011, profit amounted to 4.7 billion rubles. This result is partly due to the high passenger traffic in the region, partly due to federal subsidies. In particular, all PPKs pay only one percent of the tariff for using the infrastructure of Russian Railways, and the rest of the costs are compensated from the budget.
