TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG – The Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (DPMPTSP) of West Java continues to demonstrate its commitment to creating a conducive and transparent investment climate aligned with the vision of West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi.
Through responsive spatial planning management and investment services, they aim to attract more investors while simultaneously enhancing community welfare.
As the head of DPMPTSP West Java, Dedi Taufik bears great responsibility. His schedule is filled with various activities, from strategic meetings to investor engagements.
“All these efforts aim to provide fast and direct-impact investment services, as instructed by the Governor,” he said on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.
A firm step taken by DPMPTSP West Java was evident when a mining incident involving C-type minerals at Gunung Kuda, Cirebon, resulted in casualties. Dedi Taufik explained that his office, together with the Energy and Mineral Resources Agency (ESDM), revoked permits from three mining companies as a concrete action.
“This policy aligns with West Java Governor Regulation Number 11 of 2025 on Controlling Land Conversion. It reflects our commitment to maintaining environmental balance and community safety in disaster-prone areas,” he added.
Furthermore, DPMPTSP West Java remains actively communicating with regencies/cities to understand various obstacles, such as delays in issuing environmental documents and challenges in integrating licensing systems.
“We are ready to provide technical support to resolve those issues,” emphasized Dedi Taufik.
As part of service innovation, the government will establish integrated posts in industrial zones to map problems and offer concrete solutions. In addition, incentives and direct support for investors will be continuously prepared, including the delivery of strategic issues to ministries and related agencies.
“When investment is well-managed, its impact is not only physical development but also the improvement of the community’s quality of life,” he explained.
Dedi Taufik also emphasized that West Java remains the national investment hotspot. Legal protection and certainty of investment continue to be priorities to maintain the province’s attractiveness. A major target has also been set, aiming for an investment contribution of Rp1,900 trillion in 2024–2025.
“In the first quarter of 2025, West Java contributed 14.7 percent of the total national investment realization valued at Rp465.2 trillion. We are optimistic that the target of Rp68.5 trillion for the second quarter will be achieved,” he revealed.
Investment realization in the first quarter showed a significant increase. Total investment reached Rp68.54 trillion, spread across 27 regencies/cities in West Java. This also created jobs for 91,082 people. Compared to the same period in 2024, this realization grew by 6.02 percent.
“This increase shows that investor confidence in West Java is growing stronger,” said Dedi Taufik.
A strategic priority project is the development of the Rebana Metropolitan Area. This region, encompassing Subang, Majalengka, Cirebon, Indramayu, Sumedang, and surrounding areas, is projected to become an integrated center for industry, logistics, and transportation.
“We will accelerate leading projects, such as Subang Smartpolitan and the development of Kertajati Airport, following Presidential Regulation Number 87 of 2021,” he said.
The Rebana area is beginning to attract global investors, including the Chinese automotive manufacturer BYD, which will build an electric vehicle production facility.
“The presence of BYD will bring significant ripple effects, including job absorption and technology transfer for West Java,” he continued.
In his direction, Governor Dedi Mulyadi emphasized the importance of well-planned spatial arrangements to support investment. He instructed that investment services should be made faster and less complicated.
“Law-abiding businesses must be facilitated, while violations are handled persuasively but firmly,” he said.
One highlighted obstacle was the delayed issuance of UKL/UPL environmental permits, postponed for up to two years, resulting in stalled factory openings.
“I want the people of Indramayu and Garut to get jobs. Investment must be facilitated,” he added.
The Governor also highlighted the importance of integrating industry with education and environment. Industrial areas must include supporting sectors such as hospitality, green open spaces, and tourism without sacrificing agricultural land and local culture.
“Good development is development that aligns with community welfare and environmental sustainability,” he emphasized.
