The terms also concern mutual commitments of the concession grantor and the concession owner.

A number of instructions to the Government of the Russian Federation implies participation in their implementation of the VEB.RF State Development Corporation, executive government bodies of the Russian Federation constituent entities on the territory of which the construction of the high-speed railway is planned (Moscow, St Petersburg, the Moscow, Leningrad, Novgorod and Tver regions), Russian Railways and the Bank of Russia.
