The acquisition will be undertaken by MTR’s wholly owned subsidiary MTR Nordic.

It was approved by the boards of Mantena and its parent company, Norges Statsnamer.

The deal will conclude following the receipt of approval from the Swedish Competition Authority.

This move comes after MTRS’s concession was extended last September to operate the Stockholm Metro for another six years until 2023.

MTR Corporation also runs the MTR Express intercity service in Sweden that connects Stockholm with Gothenburg.
