Entrepreneurs Owning 50 Ha of Land Are Encouraged to Build Industrial Estates

Jan, 28 2026

Purwakarta: The Ministry of Investment and Downstream Development/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) is encouraging businesses with 50 hectares (ha) of land available and close to toll road access to develop industrial estates.

"If the land is sufficient, not far from the toll road and with an area of more than 50 hectares, entrepreneurs in that area can be directed to establish industrial estates," said Abdul Qodir, Director of Region III of the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Development/BKPM, at the inauguration of Tata Metal Lestari's Kirin Project in Purwakarta, as quoted by Antara, Monday, January 26, 2026.

The development of the 50-hectare industrial estate is based on the National Industrial Development Master Plan (RIPIN) until 2035 through the establishment of Industrial Growth Center Areas (WPPI), Industrial Designation Areas (KPI), and the development of Industrial Estates and Small and Medium Industry (SMI) Centers.

Several conditions allow for the development of a 50-hectare industrial estate, including the need for thematic development areas, such as tobacco, marine and fisheries products, textiles, and digital industries, which are divided according to the development areas of the Java and non-Java WPPI (Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board) (WPPI).

In addition, due to the limited land available for KPIs within a single district/city, as well as the policy of accelerating industrial development in strategic areas such as Special Economic Zones (KEK) or Free Port and Free Trade Zones (KPBPB),

He stated that the government is actively facilitating and overseeing the resolution of various problems and obstacles faced by business actors, particularly in the licensing and investment project implementation stages.

According to him, this support is provided from the time business actors submit permit applications through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, especially for projects with large investment values, which generally exceed hundreds of billions of rupiah, even reaching trillions of rupiah.

Encouraging Accelerated Investment Realization

Abdul Qodir said that the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) proactively contacts company managers via email and instant messaging to ensure the progress and timeliness of investment realization.

He emphasized that accelerating investment realization will have a direct impact on the accelerated completion of development projects. This will ultimately create a significant multiplier effect on the economy surrounding the project sites, from job creation to growth in local economic activity.

Abdul Qodir also revealed that the achievement of national investment realization in 2025 showed very positive performance. Based on his office's records, investment realization in 2025 reached IDR 1,931.2 trillion, equivalent to 101.3 percent of the target of IDR 1,905.6 trillion.

At the regional level, West Java Province has again recorded the highest investment realization for three consecutive years.

Despite often being cited for having relatively high regional minimum wages (UMR), Bekasi, Bogor, and Karawang regencies consistently rank among the top three investment contributors in West Java.
