TCDD (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devlet Demiryolları), commonly known as Turkish State Railways, is Turkey’s state-owned railway authority established in 1927. It plans, builds, owns, and maintains the national rail infrastructure, including conventional and high-speed lines, stations, signaling, electrification, and logistics hubs.
For industry, TCDD provides the backbone rail network that supports domestic and international freight flows, with links to ports, organized industrial zones, and border crossings that connect Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Since sector liberalization, train operations for passenger and freight services are carried out by TCDD Taşımacılık A.Ş., while TCDD remains the infrastructure manager. The network is a key mode for moving bulk materials and other cargo for manufacturing and energy value chains, supporting safer and lower-emission transport compared with road.
