Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) announced plans to expand Indonesia’s national railway network by 14,000 km outside Java, targeting completion by 2045. This ambitious infrastructure project requires approximately IDR 1,200 trillion, with annual funding estimated at IDR 60–65 trillion. The initiative focuses on Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi to boost regional connectivity. AHY highlighted a phased approach, prioritizing "quick wins" like the Banda Aceh-Besitang line. Financing will utilize a diversified strategy, including the state budget, regional funds, public-private partnerships, and foreign investment. The government seeks to integrate international expertise while strengthening domestic industrial capacity, ensuring sustainable development to support the nation's 2045 vision.Source: https://www.antaranews.com/berita/5538551/ahy-targetkan-14000-km-rel-kereta-baru-perlu-anggaran-rp1200-tExpansion by 2045 (ICE GIACARTA)
