House Commission VI Commends Perumnas–Telkomsel Partnership in Developing Modern TOD Housing in Depok

Jul, 13 2026

Deputy Chairman of House of Representatives (DPR RI) Commission VI, Eko Hendro Purnomo, has praised the collaboration between state-owned housing developer Perum Perumnas and PT Telkomsel in developing a modern Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) residential complex at Samesta Mahata Margonda Apartment in Depok. He said the partnership represents a concrete effort to provide decent, affordable housing supported by reliable digital connectivity.

Eko delivered the remarks while leading a specific working visit by Commission VI to Samesta Mahata Apartment in Depok, West Java, on Friday (July 10, 2026). The visit aimed to review the development of the TOD area and assess the digital infrastructure provided by PT Telkomsel.

"We are following up on the public hearing held two weeks ago regarding the development of TOD areas. Today, we witnessed an excellent synergy between Perumnas and Telkomsel. This project offers housing that is not only affordable and decent but also modern," Eko said.

According to him, the availability of digital connectivity within the residential complex adds significant value by enhancing services for residents while strengthening Perumnas' competitiveness in developing TOD-based housing projects.

"We are grateful that digital connectivity has now been integrated through the collaboration between Telkomsel and Perumnas. Hopefully, this will become a catalyst for Perumnas to continue growing and delivering better services to the public," he added.

Eko also commended Perumnas for its achievements in developing and marketing Samesta Mahata Apartment. Based on the presentation received by Commission VI, both the occupancy rate and market response indicate strong public interest in the project, driven by its affordable pricing and modern residential concept.

"The data presented today is very encouraging. The strategies implemented by Perumnas have demonstrated strong market appeal. People are attracted because the housing is affordable while still offering modern living standards," said the National Mandate Party (PAN) legislator.

Furthermore, Eko encouraged Perumnas to continue strengthening its promotion and branding strategies so that TOD-based residential developments become more widely recognized and remain competitive with projects developed by private-sector property developers.

He expressed hope that the partnership between Perumnas and Telkomsel would continue to expand as part of broader efforts to provide housing that is fully integrated with public transportation and supported by a robust digital ecosystem, creating added value for residents while reinforcing the transformation of Indonesia's state-owned enterprises.

The Bogor Regional Government remains open to investment opportunities in Puncak, with the following conditions

Bogor Regency, West Java (ANTARA) - The Bogor Regency Government, West Java, has confirmed that investment opportunities in the Puncak tourist area remain open, provided that investors abide by the applicable environmental management procedures and regulations. Bogor Regency Secretary Ajat Rochmat Jatnika said that the regency government would not impose a moratorium on environmental approvals in Puncak as long as these regulations were consistently implemented. “As long as environmental procedures and regulations are followed when investing in Bogor Regency, especially in Puncak, there is no need for the regency government to impose a moratorium on environmental approvals,” Ajat said in Cibinong, West Java, on Wednesday. He emphasized that environmental management must be carried out based on the principle of sustainability in order to provide added value to the economy and society, while minimizing potential damage to nature. According to him, many investors have obtained environmental approvals but have not used them as guidelines in their development and operations. This condition risks triggering the revocation of permits by higher authorities. “After obtaining environmental approval, it must be implemented in the field during development and operations,” he said. To prevent violations, the Bogor Regency Environment Agency (DLH) routinely conducts field monitoring and provides reminders so that all activities comply with the approved environmental approval documents. Ajat also urged the DLH to prevent violations by conducting routine field monitoring and providing reminders so that all activities comply with the approved environmental approval documents. To prevent violations, the Bogor Regency Environment Agency (DLH) routinely conducts field monitoring and provides reminders so that all activities are in accordance with the approved environmental permit documents. Ajat also urged business actors in the Puncak area not to view environmental permits as mere administrative requirements, but as key guidelines in preserving the environment amid investment activities. Previously, the Minister of Environment (LH)/Head of the Environmental Control Agency, Hanif Faisol Nurrofiq, had revoked a number of environmental approvals in the Puncak area, Bogor Regency, West Java, which were deemed not in accordance with the provisions on spatial utilization and environmental protection. He said the revocation was carried out because business operators did not immediately comply with the demolition orders that had been issued previously. In total, there are 33 business units located on the operational cooperation (KSO) land of PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN), and 9 of them had previously had permits but have now been officially revoked by the Ministry of Environment.

West Java's 2026 Economic Growth Target Set at 6 Percent, Experts Warn of Global Challenges and Investment Equity

KORANMANDALA.COM – The West Java Provincial Government is targeting economic growth in the range of 5.5 to 6 percent in 2026. This target is higher than the current national economic growth average of 5.2 percent. This optimism is based on several economic indicators at West Java, which are considered quite solid. Mochammad Rizaldy Insan Baihaqqy, a lecturer and economics observer at the Nusantara Islamic University (Uninus), believes this target is still realistic, even though Bank Indonesia's projections for West Java predict economic growth in the range of 4.9 to 5.7 percent. According to Rizaldy, West Java has several key assets to support relatively high economic growth. One example is West Java's economic growth in the third quarter of 2025, which exceeded the national figure, at 5.20 percent. "Furthermore, West Java's export performance continues to show a positive trend, despite being overshadowed by global economic dynamics and uncertainty," said Rizaldy. He added that infrastructure development and investment realization are also important supporting factors. Several strategic projects, such as Kertajati Airport, toll road construction, and improved logistics connectivity, are considered capable of strengthening economic production and distribution activities. Rizaldy also highlighted the role of the manufacturing industry, which contributes nearly 40 percent to West Java's Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) and remains a major driver of growth. Meanwhile, investment realization, both Foreign Direct Investment (PMA) and Domestic Direct Investment (PMDN), has shown better performance compared to the previous period. However, he cautioned against several challenges that need to be anticipated. West Java's dependence on the global market makes the export sector vulnerable to a global economic slowdown. Furthermore, the economic structure, still dominated by the manufacturing sector, requires strengthening household consumption and the service sector for more balanced growth. Regional risks such as natural disasters, as well as a tight national fiscal policy, also have the potential to suppress public purchasing power and impact the investment climate. "To achieve growth of up to 6 percent, investment alone is not enough. What's more important is how that investment can create jobs and stimulate household consumption," explained Rizaldy. He noted that the contribution of household consumption to West Java's GRDP remains around 55 percent. Therefore, strengthening the purchasing power of the public, MSMEs, and the service sector is key to achieving higher economic growth targets. Acuviarta Kartabi, an economic observer from Pasundan University, expressed a similar view. He assessed that West Java's economic prospects for 2026 remain quite positive, as inflation remains relatively controlled. According to data from the West Java Central Statistics Agency (BPS), year-on-year inflation in December 2025 was recorded at 2.63 percent, with a Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 110.15. "If economic growth improves and inflation remains stable, future wage policies have the potential to positively impact worker welfare," said Acuviarta. In the third quarter of 2025, West Java's economy, measured by GRDP at current prices, reached IDR 759.80 trillion, while GRDP at constant 2010 prices was IDR 461.90 trillion. On an annual basis, West Java's economy grew 5.20 percent compared to the same period the previous year. From the production side, the corporate services sector recorded the highest growth at 16.37 percent. Meanwhile, from the expenditure side, Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) was the component with the highest growth, at 5.27 percent. Based on annual growth sources, the manufacturing industry contributed the largest share of production, at 1.35 percent. From the expenditure side, household consumption contributed the most, contributing 2.91 percent. Acuviarta estimates that West Java's economic performance in the fourth quarter of 2025 will be better than the previous quarter, driven by various year-end policies, including the acceleration of infrastructure projects. However, he believes the West Java Provincial Government still has significant work to do, particularly in terms of equitable investment distribution. According to him, investment should not be concentrated solely in northern regions such as Bogor, Depok, Karawang, Bekasi, and Greater Bandung. "The southern part of West Java also needs more attention, particularly in terms of infrastructure development," he said. In addition to equitable investment distribution, Acuviarta assessed that policy stimulus for the business sector, particularly industry, is still suboptimal. He highlighted the lack of specific policies to protect certain industrial sectors, such as textiles and textile products (TPT). "Going forward, regional governments need to be more serious about preparing concrete policies to maintain the sustainability of strategic industrial sectors," he concluded. [SOURCE]

To Boost Economic Growth, Garut Regent Offers Strategic Investment Opportunities in the Animal Feed Sector

GARUT NEWS, BOGOR CITY – Garut Regent Abdusy Syakur Amin took advantage of the momentum of the Garut Regency Tourism Promotion and Gathering held by Asgar Jaya at Lake Bogor Raya, Bogor City, on Sunday (September 28, 2025), to invite investors to invest in Garut Regency. In his presentation, Regent Syakur mentioned that Garut's Human Development Index (HDI) still ranks 25th-27th out of 27 regencies/cities in West Java. In addition, he also highlighted economic disparities, especially in terms of gross regional domestic product (GRDP) per capita. “Garut has only reached Rp29 million per capita, while the average for West Java is Rp56 million, and the national average is Rp78 million. This means that Garut is still far behind,” he said. Syakur emphasized that increasing community productivity is the key to improving this situation. He believes that the agricultural sector, especially corn, has great potential if it is processed optimally within the region. Currently, Garut contributes 43% of West Java's corn production, but most of the harvest is sold raw and processed outside the region into animal feed. “If there is a feed mill directly in Garut, farmers will not need to buy products from outside. The distribution chain will be shorter, and prices can be more stable,” he explained. The Garut Regent also invited business actors to bring technology and capital to Garut, especially for the animal feed industry. He added that the demand for corn will increase in the future in line with the national Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program initiated by President-elect Prabowo Subianto, as it will drive the demand for broiler chickens and eggs. “We are ready to facilitate incoming investments. Your presence motivates us to continue improving so that Garut does not always rank at the bottom,” he concluded. [SOURCE]

These are the Conditions For Moving to the Upstream Oil and Gas Investment Scheme

The government is currently making adjustments to more flexible upstream oil and gas (oil and gas) investment regulations. This initiative is expected to provide easy benefits for Cooperation Contract Contractors (KKKS) in running oil and gas businesses in Indonesia. They were even offered a new gross split scheme which was simpler and more feasible. This regulation is contained in the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Regulation Number 13 of 2020 and the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Number 230.K/MG.01.MEM/2024. The essence of improving the gross split profit sharing scheme is to provide guaranteed profit sharing of around 75-95 percent for contractors, make Non-Conventional Oil and Gas Work Areas (WK) more attractive, simplify parameters, and provide more flexible (agile) options to contractors. "This simplification is not only to encourage a new gross split, but also the government provides flexibility for contractors to choose the type of contract according to the contractor's convenience. Please allow contractors who want to move to Cost Recovery from the previous Gross Split or vice versa," said the Director of Upstream Oil and Gas Development. Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Ariana Soemanto in Jakarta, Saturday (5/10). The implementation of this policy, continued Ariana, applies to contracts signed after Ministerial Regulation Number 13 of 2024 regarding Gross Split Production Sharing Contracts. Meanwhile, existing oil and gas contractors whose contracts were signed before the Ministerial Regulation was issued can switch to a new gross split contract with several notes. First, the old gross split scheme contracts for MNK, including coal methane gas and shale oil/gas, can switch to the new gross split scheme. "This is like the MNK Coal Methane Gas project in Tanjung Enim. It will soon switch to a new gross split so that it can run because the economics are improving," explained Ariana. Second, the cost recovery scheme contract can switch to a new gross split scheme, as long as it is still in the exploration stage and has not received approval for the first plan of development (POD-I) from the Government. "As for old or existing gross split scheme contracts that are already in the production stage, they cannot be changed to the new gross split scheme, but can be changed to cost recovery scheme contracts," said Ariana. To date, there are at least five contractors/blocks who have expressed interest in using the new gross split scheme, in accordance with the Regulations and Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources. "Who and which blocks, we should wait for the formalities later. Of course, it's up to the contractor to choose which contract scheme suits each contractor's risk profile. What's important is that we improve the investment climate to make it more attractive, to encourage the discovery of oil and gas reserves and production in the future ," said Ariana. As is known, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has just issued Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation Number 13 of 2024 concerning Gross Split Production Sharing Contracts which was signed on August 12 2026. This Ministerial Regulation replaces Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation Number 8 of 2017 concerning Gross Split Production Sharing Contracts which has been adjusted several times. Apart from that, Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources has also been stipulated Number 230.K/MG.01.MEM.M/2024 concerning Implementation Guidelines and Components of Gross Split Production Sharing Contracts. "The government will always try to fulfill stakeholder input while maintaining the interests of the state," concluded Ariana. (NA) (SOURCE)
