Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devlet Demiryolları (TCDD) is the state-owned railway infrastructure manager of Türkiye. Headquartered in Ankara and established in 1927, TCDD plans, builds, maintains, and manages the country’s high-speed and conventional rail network, including track, stations, signaling, and electrification assets. Following sector liberalization, train operations were separated into TCDD Taşımacılık A.Ş., while TCDD retains responsibility for the network and major investment projects.
Through its network, TCDD provides access for passenger and freight operators, linking industrial zones, logistics centers, ports, and border crossings. The system supports the movement of bulk materials and manufactured goods across domestic corridors and international routes connecting Europe, the Caucasus, and the Middle East. For industries such as chemicals, rail offers a key option for moving feedstocks and finished products via dedicated freight services and intermodal terminals that interface with maritime and road transport.
