Indonesia Industrial Estate Holding Nets Rp 2.5 Trillion in British and Dutch Investment Pledges in London

JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — PT Danareksa (Persero), operating as Indonesia's state-owned Industrial Estate Holding, secured approximately Rp 2.5 trillion in fresh investment commitments from British and Dutch investors on the sidelines of the Indonesia Investment Forum (IIF) 2026 in London.

The cross-border deals highlight sustained foreign investor appetite for Southeast Asia's largest economy as Jakarta accelerates efforts to position domestic industrial hubs as regional manufacturing bases. Backed by state-level backing, the agreements advance government initiatives to expand industrial downstreaming, broaden high-tech infrastructure, and anchor foreign capital within designated growth corridors across Java.

The corporate action was formalized through investment agreements involving holding subsidiaries PT Jakarta Industrial Estate Pulogadung (JIEP) and PT Kawasan Industri Terpadu Batang (KITB). The strategic partnerships encompass land utilization at JIEP in eastern Jakarta alongside digital ecosystem development within the Batang Industropolis Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Central Java.

High-ranking state officials witnessed the signing ceremony in London, including Minister of Investment and Downstreaming and Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Perkasa Roeslani—who also serves as Chief Executive Officer of Danantara Indonesia—Finance Minister Suahasil Nazara, Bank Indonesia Governor Destry Damayanti, and Indonesian Ambassador to the United Kingdom Desra Percaya.

Capitalizing on Foreign Direct Investment Momentum

Rosan Perkasa Roeslani noted that total realized domestic and foreign direct investment reached Rp 1,539.2 trillion between January and September 2026, marking a 7.3% expansion year-on-year. Global investors contributed roughly half of that aggregate capital pool.

“This investment realization reflects global confidence in Indonesia’s economy, in the transformation we are implementing, and in Indonesia’s long-term trajectory,” Rosan said.

Rosan added that the government continues to push state-backed estates to transition into long-term landing grounds for international enterprises, ensuring that all segments of the industrial value chain are managed effectively to generate domestic economic spillovers.

Ngurah Wirawan, President Director of Indonesia's Industrial Estate Holding, emphasized that the London pacts provide tangible proof that global players regard the state holding company as a credible execution partner.

“Delivering an integrated modern industrial ecosystem with reliable utility services, high-caliber human resources, and a strong orientation toward sustainability represents our core commitment,” Ngurah said.

Targeted Expansions in Pulogadung and Batang

JIEP Marketing and Development Director Leonnardo Feneri explained that the partnership with UK-based investment firm BlackInk Co-operation Limited will advance to technical execution.

“BlackInk will realize its investment at JIEP and is projected to create hundreds of jobs,” Leonnardo said. “JIEP has prepared sufficient industrial land supported by robust electricity and water infrastructure to facilitate this inbound capital.”

At the same time, KITB President Director Marfan Trihartiko described the European collaboration as a strategic push to accelerate digital infrastructure buildouts across the Batang Industropolis SEZ.

“We anticipate that this digital infrastructure development will unlock major opportunities for high-tech industrial growth, facilitate knowledge transfers, and enhance human capital quality across Batang and Central Java as a whole,” Marfan said.

Danantara Strategic Alignment and Operational Footprint

The transactions align directly with the strategic roadmap of Danantara Indonesia, which positions the Industrial Estate Holding as a central pillar for national investment mobilization. The cross-border transactions also reflect the administration’s broader economic policy objectives, focusing on high-quality employment creation, industrial processing, and enhanced domestic value addition.

Under this development thesis, industrial zones are slated to shift away from basic manufacturing enclaves toward integrated modern industrial townships that balance manufacturing output with residential ecosystems.

“The mandate entrusted to us by Danantara Indonesia drives us to establish Indonesian industrial estates as global investment destinations, ensuring that every project anchored here delivers value addition for the national economy and public welfare,” Ngurah concluded.

Indonesia's Industrial Estate Holding currently operates seven strategic zones encompassing 7,706 hectares across six provinces. These zones host more than 1,200 industrial tenants from 25 countries, represent cumulative capital deployments exceeding $10 billion, and employ upwards of 300,000 workers.
