Thailand's State Enterprises Policy Committee (SOPC) is advancing restructuring plans for state-owned enterprises, targeting 3 priority cases for revival including the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) EV bus rollout (1,520 of 3,000 planned units, reducing fuel and maintenance costs by 45%) and Thai Railways (focusing on commercial land use and open-access models).

Policy direction emphasizes revenue optimization and FTA-readiness, though timelines remain fluid pending cabinet-level ministry approval later in September.
