The Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (DPMPTSP) of Purwakarta Regency reported that the total investment realization reached IDR 12.47 trillion. This figure exceeded the target of IDR 11.20 trillion. This success was supported by a conducive business climate.

Purwakarta Regent Saepul Bahri Binzein highlighted the strategic role of industrial areas in the region. These industrial zones have become the main attraction for global investors, including those from South Korea who contributed the largest share of foreign investment.

Purwakarta Investment Realization Exceeds the 2025 Target

From January to December 2025, Purwakarta successfully recorded a very encouraging investment realization. The total investment reached IDR 12.47 trillion. This amount exceeded the initial target of IDR 11.20 trillion, or 111.36 percent of the target.

This achievement indicates a positive trend and increasing investor confidence in Purwakarta’s economic potential. The investment consisted of foreign direct investment (FDI) and domestic investment (DDI). Domestic investment contributed approximately IDR 9.58 trillion.

Meanwhile, foreign direct investment (FDI) contributed IDR 2.89 trillion. This strong investment realization serves as a key indicator of regional economic growth and demonstrates the effectiveness of local government policies.

Dominance of South Korean Investment in Purwakarta

IDR 14 Trillion Investment Liquid, This Toll Road in West Java Will Start Construction in 2025, Cuts Travel Time to 3 Cities by 2 Hours

LENGKONG, AYOBANDUNG.COM - President Prabowo Subianto has again instructed the construction of the newest toll road in West Java. The infrastructure development which is included in the seven priority toll road projects is a National Strategic Project. The Ministry of Public Development in coordination with the Toll Road Supervisory Agency (BPJT) will immediately realize the construction of this toll road in West Java in 2025. For information, West Java is one of the provinces that is the main target of the government's long-term development. Considering that the province is 35,377.76 square kilometers with a population of 50,489,208, it requires accelerated development of infrastructure and facilities that continue to develop. The 45-kilometer toll road is one of the mega projects that supports smooth connectivity for residents. The construction of the Sukabumi-Ciranjang-Padalarang toll road is one of the work programs of the PU Ministry which will be realized until the target completion in 2029. The toll road with an investment value of Rp14 trillion is the government's effort to improve transportation infrastructure. The construction of the Sukabumi-Ciranjang-Padalarang Toll Road will use the Government and Business Entity Cooperation (KBPU) scheme. The construction of this toll road consists of two stages: 1. The first stage of construction of the Sukabumi to Ciranjang route is 21 kilometers long. 2. The second stage of construction of the Ciranjang to Padalarang route is 25 kilometers long. Until now, the land acquisition process continues as an initial step in the construction of this toll road. Some of the objectives of the Sukabumi-Ciranjang-Padalarang Toll Road are as follows: 1. Reducing congestion This toll road will be an alternative for road users with high mobility so that they can avoid congestion that often occurs in the Bandung, Sukabumi, and Cianjur areas. 2. Facilitating the distribution of goods In the field of trade, the operation of the Sukabumi-Ciranjang-Padalarang toll road can facilitate the flow of distribution of goods being traded. 3. Improving the local economy If this toll road can be used efficiently, then the economic activities of the community will be smoother and have an impact on improving the local economy. 4. Facilitate mobility If the distance between cities is quite far and takes a lot of time, then the use of this toll road can be very effective. It is estimated that road users can cut the travel time from Sukabumi to Padalarang which is usually 2 hours 28 minutes to only 30 minutes. 5. Increase tourism potential If people's mobility is smoother, then traveling if you want to travel in Sukabumi or Ciranjang and Padalarang will be more affordable and easier. This will certainly have an impact on increasing tourism potential in the area.*** (SOURCE)

The Patimban Port Becomes Key, Regent Assures a Conducive Investment Climate in Subang

PR SUBANG - Subang Regent Reynaldy Putra Andita believes that Subang Regency now has all the necessary instruments to become an attractive industrial center for global investors. One of the main factors is the existence of Patimban Port, which is considered the ideal complement to support the era of industrialization in Subang. “Subang is currently in a transition zone. With the presence of Patimban Port, industrial exports and imports will be easier, making Subang one of the main destinations for investors,” said the Regent during a working visit to the Class II Patimban Port Authority (KSOP) on Friday (8/29/25). According to Reynaldy, not many regions have a strategic combination like Subang, with a port, industrial area, and well-preserved agricultural potential. This condition provides a strong foundation for creating a conducive investment climate. He emphasized that the presence of large investments, such as two global electric car factories, BYD and Vinfast, will be the main drivers of economic growth. “We are focusing on preparing the Patimban Port infrastructure. We must be ready to support this industrial transition,” he stated. The Subang Regent also assured that the presence of investors will bring direct benefits to the community, particularly through job creation. Therefore, he invited all elements of society to fully support this transformation process. “For the people of Subang Regency, let us work together to ensure that it is not easy for Subang Regency to have a port and extraordinary industries,” he said. “How our workforce will be absorbed must be our benchmark,” he added. Reynaldy added that the Subang Regency Government is ready to provide certainty and full support to investors. “We fully support and assist every stage (of investment) without discrimination, because in principle we welcome investors for the welfare of the people of Subang Regency,” he concluded.

Bandung City (ANTARA) - The Bandung City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (DPMPTSP), West Java, recorded that investment realization in the Flower City reached IDR 10.7 trillion in 2024, exceeding the target set at IDR 7.3 trillion. "Of course, this achievement is the result of hard work from our ranks. We do not just sit back and receive reports from companies, but we provide counseling, provide guidance related to reporting, and visit entrepreneurs directly," said Head of Bandung City DPMPTSP Ronny Ahmad Nurudin, in Bandung, Wednesday. Ronny said that the investment of IDR 10.7 trillion was dominated by the transportation, warehouse, and telecommunications sectors, contributing IDR 3.5 trillion. "Bandung City is a service city, so the transportation, warehouse, and telecommunications sectors still dominate. The second is other services, the third is the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, then hotels and restaurants, and the last is the housing, industrial and office areas," he said. He revealed that the realization of domestic investment (PMDN) actually dominated investment in Bandung City by contributing IDR 8.3 trillion, while the foreign investment (PMA) category reached IDR 2.4 trillion. "That's right. Now PMDN is bigger, indicating an increase in domestic investment. Labor absorption is also quite significant. From PMDN, the workforce absorbed is 18,794 people, while from PMA it is 1,820 people," he also said. Ronny said there are several factors that make foreign and domestic investors interested in investing in Bandung City, one of which is the ease of service provided by DPMPTSP for prospective investors.

This Port in West Java is Capable of Strengthening Logistics on 3 Islands in Indonesia, Worth Investment of Up to IDR 43.2 Trillion

LENGKONG, AYOBANDUNG.COM -- This port in West Java is able to strengthen the logistics of 3 islands in Indonesia. This port in West Java has an investment value of up to IDR 43.2 trillion. The name of the port in West Java is Patimban Port. This port in West Java is now managed by PT Pelabuhan Patimban Internasional. The construction of this port is one of the strategic projects in the era of President Jokowi. Patimban Port was inaugurated on December 20, 2020. Patimban Port is located in Subang Regency, West Java. This port is able to strengthen the distribution of logistics on 3 islands in Indonesia, namely Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan. This port serves domestic shipments for automotive to Batam and Belawan, and Long Distance Ferry (LDF) with the Patimban - Panjang, Patimban - Pontianak routes, and vice versa. The shipments are served by 5 ship operators. Patimban Port is also a strategic port because it is supported by adequate supporting infrastructure, such as Kertajati Airport, Majalengka, and access to the Cipali (Cikopo-Paliman) and Cisumdawu (Cileunyi-Sumedang-Dawuan) toll roads. Patimban Port will be an outlet for a number of industries along the Cipali, Subang, Majalengka, Sumedang, and Cirebon toll roads. In addition, this port will also integrate existing economic areas such as East Bekasi, Karawang, and Purwakarta. In addition, with this port, the Ministry of Transportation estimates that logistics costs will be cheaper and much more competitive for industries in eastern Indonesia for export-import through Patimban Port. Meanwhile, industrial activities from western Indonesia are collected at Tanjung Priok Port. The Patimban area together with Cirebon and Kertajati (Majalengka Regency) is projected to become the 'Rebana Metropolitan'. In this Rebana Triangle industrial area, it is planned that there will be 10 to 12 new growth centers, including Patimban City which is of interest to investors from Japan. Therefore, the regional government hopes that the central government will continue to support connectivity infrastructure and spatial planning from Patimban Port to the surrounding areas. Having extraordinary benefits, Patimban Port has a fairly large investment value of up to IDR 43.2 trillion. (SOURCE)

West Java land mapping for water pumps is requested to be completed by April 25 2024

Bandung (ANTARA) - Regional Secretary (Sekda) of West Java Province, Herman Suryatman, requested that mapping of land and farmers as potential recipients and prospective locations (CPCL) for the water pump program for rainfed rice fields in West Java be completed by April 25 2024. After completing the data collection, Herman said that the West Java Provincial Government would immediately submit the documents to the Ministry of Agriculture, which would distribute 5,000 pumps to irrigate 50,000 hectares of rain-fed rice fields in West Java. "So in a meeting with the Regional Secretary last Friday (19/4), it was requested that by April 25 2024 the target for CPCL data collection would be complete and we would send it to the Ministry of Agriculture so that West Java could execute the water pump network program for 50,000 hectares or 5,000 pumps," said Herman Suryatman when confirmed in Bandung, Saturday. Currently, said Herman, the mapping that has been submitted from districts and cities only covers 13,000 hectares or is only covered by around 1,300 pump units, where one pump can irrigate 10 hectares of rice fields. "That's why next week we have to finish collecting data for 50,000 hectares. But we still have to be accountable, that's why the Prosecutor's Office, Polri and TNI are involved to make this pumping program a success," said Herman. In this pumping program, initially the Ministry of Agriculture only provided 2,500 pumps for 25,000 hectares of rice fields. However, because the program was running well in West Java, the Ministry of Agriculture finally provided an additional 5,000 pumps. "The Ministry of Agriculture has provided 2,500 pumps, then because the field is good the Ministry of Agriculture will add another 2,500 pumps for a total of 5,000 pumps for 50,000 hectares of rain-fed rice fields," he said. With this pumping, Herman hopes that West Java's agricultural productivity will increase because farmers will be able to harvest twice a year. "So far, the harvest is only once a year, with pumping, there are two harvests," said Herman. (SOURCE)
