HKI: Accelerating Investment in Industrial Areas is the Responsibility of the Government and Entrepreneurs

May, 17 2024

jabar.jpnn.com, WEST BANDUNG - The Industrial Area Association (HKI) appreciates the West Java (Jabar) One Stop Investment and Integrated Services Service (DPMPTSP) for inviting industrial area entrepreneurs to sit down together, in order to accelerate investment. It is known that the West Java DPMPTSP continues to make various efforts to increase investment in industrial areas, with low occupancy levels. One of them is by inviting all policy makers and industry players in West Java to sit down together.

Through the 2024 Investment Acceleration Forum in Industrial Areas, West Java DPMPTSP wants to invite or collaborate and create sustainable synergy with business actors in industrial areas.

This was done to strengthen the investment ecosystem and encourage inclusive and sustainable economic growth. HKI Executive Director Fahmi Sahab said, West Java is a barometer for industrial growth. The reason is, national investment is influenced by the manufacturing industry in West Java.

"Climates for improving investment must be seen in the future, so it is very necessary that forums like this be held regularly with the central government, regional governments and the business world," said Fahmi after taking part in the 'Investment Acceleration Forum in Industrial Areas 2024' at Mason Pine , West Bandung Regency, Wednesday (15/5).

According to him, accelerating investment in industrial areas is a joint responsibility of both regulators and the business world. Therefore, said Fahmi, it is important to hold a forum with the government and the business world to discuss developments and problems in the field related to investment, such as security, licensing and infrastructure.

"Because this industrial area cannot be seen as pure business. This is a form of concern for national economic development which has a multiflier effect on foreign exchange, labor and the environment," he said.

"So that problems in industrial areas cannot be left entirely to industrial areas, they must be resolved by the central or regional government, both in terms of software and hardware, both in terms of licensing and infrastructure," continued Fahmi.

According to him, assistance from the government will have a huge impact on national economic growth. "Industrial areas are an instrument, a tool for accelerating industry which ultimately leads to national economic growth," he said.

Kuningan Regent Dian Rachmat Yanuar expressed confidence that the construction of the South Eastern Ring Road (Jalan Lingkar Timur Selatan/JLTS), which will connect Ancaran and Kadugede, can soon be realized. His optimism grew stronger after Commission V of Indonesia’s House of Representatives (DPR RI) pledged its full support for the strategic infrastructure project. The support was conveyed during a specific working visit by Commission V DPR RI to the planned JLTS site in Kuningan Regency on Thursday (June 18, 2026). The delegation was led by Deputy Chairperson of Commission V, Syaiful Huda, and attended by representatives from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) and the National Road Implementation Agency. Also present were Kuningan Deputy Regent Tuti Andriani, Regional Secretary U Kusmana, and several regional government officials. Regent Dian explained that the 9.5-kilometer South Eastern Ring Road is a continuation of the existing North Eastern Ring Road, which has significantly improved connectivity and stimulated economic growth across the regency. “The South Eastern Ring Road is a continuation of the North Eastern Ring Road. With the support of the central government and Commission V of the DPR RI, I am confident that this road will become a major transportation corridor capable of accelerating economic growth, investment, tourism, services, and trade in Kuningan Regency,” Dian stated. According to the Regent, the project is urgently needed due to the increasing mobility of residents and the growing number of tourists visiting Kuningan during weekends and holiday seasons. “Kuningan has become one of the leading tourist destinations in eastern West Java. The development of the South Eastern Ring Road will improve traffic flow while opening new access routes that support the growth of tourism areas and investment opportunities,” he added. Deputy Chairperson of Commission V DPR RI, Syaiful Huda, noted that Kuningan possesses significant potential to emerge as a new tourism destination in West Java and therefore requires adequate infrastructure support. “We fully support this project because Kuningan is developing into one of West Java’s favorite tourism destinations. We need to ensure that its infrastructure is prepared to accommodate regional growth and prevent the area from falling behind,” Huda said. The Ministry of Public Works and Housing outlined two alternative financing schemes for the project.

The initial five-kilometer section, where land acquisition has already been completed, is proposed to be financed through the IJD scheme, while the remaining 4.5-kilometer section would be funded through SBSN. “We are encouraging the first five kilometers, which are already prepared, to be financed through the IJD scheme. The remaining section can then be developed through SBSN so that construction can continue sustainably until completion,” Huda explained. The Kuningan Regency Government has also been urged to finalize the remaining land acquisition process. Head of the Kuningan Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (PUTR), Putu Bagiasna, stated that the administration has allocated IDR 14 billion to complete the remaining land acquisition requirements. “In our current budget work plan, we have allocated IDR 14 billion to complete the remaining land acquisition process.

This is the first toll road to South West Java, which will boost tourism. Operational target is 2029!

DESKJABAR - As is known, toll road construction in West Java has so far focused on the northern coast and central routes. However, none of the toll roads leading to the southern region have been completed. For this reason, the West Java Provincial Government, under the leadership of Governor Dedi Mulyadi, has encouraged the Central Government to immediately construct and implement the Getaci Toll Road, which leads to the south of West Java. This toll road to the south of West Java is believed to stimulate economic growth by improving inter-regional connectivity, serving as a logistics route and providing access to a number of tourist destinations. To achieve this, the Governor, familiarly known as KDM, continues to intensively coordinate with the central government to ensure that every stage, from planning to implementation, runs according to target. According to KDM, the construction of the Getaci Toll Road, along with four other toll roads in West Java connecting the province and cities/regencies, will begin in 2026. "With the full support of the West Java Provincial Government, the construction of these three strategic toll roads is expected to improve connectivity, accelerate regional economic growth, and open up new job and investment opportunities for the people of West Java," the West Java Provincial Government stated, as quoted from Instagram @bappedajabar, Sunday, October 5, 2025. The Getaci Toll Road, which connects the two provinces of West Java and Central Java, stretches 206.65 km from Gedebage, Tasikmalaya, to Cilacap. Construction is divided into two phases: Phase 1: Gedebage - Tasikmalaya Phase 2: Tasikmalaya - Cilacap. Phase 1 construction is further divided into two sections: Section 1: Gedebage - North Garut Section 2: North Garut - Tasikmalaya The Head of the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT), Wilan Oktavian, confirmed the division of construction phases. He said that construction will temporarily reach Tasikmalaya (Phase 1) before continuing with Phase 2. "Temporarily (it will reach Tasikmalaya and then continue to Cilacap). That's the excess," he said. Must Be Operational in 2029 So far, the Getaci Toll Road project has re-entered the tender process, which will be held in 2026, and is targeted to be operational in 2029. To meet this deadline, several areas in Bandung Regency and Garut Regency are now entering the data validation and compensation (UGR) stage for landowners affected by the Getaci Toll Road. Once the data validation and UGR reimbursement process in Bandung and Garut Regencies is complete, a similar process will continue in Tasikmalaya Regency and City, Ciamis Regency, Pangandaran Regency, and finally in Cilacap.
