Investment in West Java Must Have an Impact on Community Welfare

Oct, 30 2025

Bisnis.com, BANDUNG -- West Java Provincial Secretary Herman Suryatman encourages investment in West Java to have a direct impact on the welfare of residents. West Java Province has become a favorite destination for both Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Domestic Investment (DDI) companies, consistently ranking first nationally because West Java's investment realization consistently exceeds the targets set by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).

Herman also hopes that investment absorption in West Java can improve human development indicators in the province. For example, unemployment rates, social inequality (Gini ratio), and poverty alleviation. “This morning, we are consolidating ourselves so that the performance of the West Java Provincial Investment and Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), which is already excellent, can be even better. One thing we will create is how investment can have an impact on improving the welfare of the community,” he said on Tuesday (11/6/2024).

Basically, Herman acknowledged that West Java's licensing and investment services are among the best in the country. Therefore, he reiterated that this should have a direct impact on community welfare. “We can reduce unemployment, the Gini index, and poverty through licensing and investment tools,” said Herman.

Another thing Herman aims to achieve is to facilitate business permits for West Java residents with micro or super-micro businesses. "Stay tuned for the date. We will help, of course together with the regencies and cities,“ he said. Head of the West Java DPMPTSP Nining Yuliastiani stated that her office is ready to respond to this challenge. She is also committed to realizing the community welfare that Herman is targeting through inclusive and sustainable investment. ”We will realize community welfare through inclusive and sustainable investment," said Nining.

TPPAS Lulut Nambo Bogor requires an investment of IDR 900 billion to operate

Kabupaten Bogor (ANTARA) - PT Jabar Bersih Lestari, which is a subsidiary of the Regional Owned Enterprise (BUMD) of West Java Province, PT Jasa Sarana, said that the Lulut-Nambo Waste Processing and Final Processing Site (TPPAS) in Bogor Regency requires an investment of IDR 900 billion to be operational. "We are still waiting for investors, we are in the phase of attracting investors, currently still in process, the investment is around IDR 900 billion," said the Main Director of PT Jabar Bersih Lestari (JBL) Gun Gun Saptari Hidayat at TPPAS Lulut Nambo which is located in Klapanunggal, Bogor Regency, Java West, Wednesday. PT JBL, which is a subsidiary of PT Jasa Sarana, will implement a government-business entity (KPBU) cooperation mechanism with investors or private companies in managing the Lulut Nambo TPPAS. Currently, an assessment process is underway for potential investor companies. According to Gun Gun, the assessment needs to be carried out selectively considering that potential investors previously had to cancel work midway. "Now we are in the investor assessment process, we will inform you later (of the results). Initially the first investor had agreed to build, it had started, then there were problems in the middle of the road. Indeed, the PPP has a lot of dynamics. We ask for prayers," said Gun Gun. After the work was abandoned by investors, the Lulut Nambo TPPS, which was built in 2017, finally received budget support from the West Java Provincial Government in the form of Regional Capital Inclusion (PMD) of around IDR 60 billion to complete phase one of construction. Now, during the trial period, the Lulut-Nambo TPPAS is capable of processing 50 tons of waste per day and producing biomass and "refuse derived fuel" (RDF) of around 40 percent of the weight of the waste processed. Gun Gun said that if the Lulut-Nambo TPPAS had been built from an investment of IDR 900 billion, it would be able to process around 1,800 tons to 2,300 tons of waste a day. (SOURCE)
