VR has sold its 10.6% stake in the Norwegian NRC Group

VR has sold its 10.6% stake in the Norwegian publicly listed infrastructure company NRC Group. VR received the shares as part of the sale of VR Track to NRC in 2019.

The sale of the shares is part of VR's strategy to focus on its core business and streamline its holdings. VR aims to concentrate on its core operations as a transport operator in passenger and freight traffic, and to divest its station and depot properties to create a competitively neutral operating environment.
