        "summary": "Danantara Indonesia is seeking strategic investors from multiple countries to help develop Indonesia\u2019s downstream nickel industry and an integrated electric vehicle battery ecosystem. The proposed value chain spans nickel processing through battery production, but will require substantial capital and reliable raw material supplies.",
        "content": "<p>Danantara Indonesia is promoting the development of the downstream\nnickel industry through investment partnerships with strategic investors\nfrom various countries. The initiative is part of efforts to strengthen\nthe industrial value chain and support the development of an integrated\nelectric vehicle battery ecosystem in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>Danantara Indonesia Managing Director for Global Relations and\nCommunications Pahala Nugraha Mansury said that, through Danantara\nInvestment Management (DIM), the organisation could seek partners with\nthe expertise to develop production facilities and invest alongside it\nin Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>Pahala cited downstreaming efforts by the MIND ID Group through\nseveral of its entities: PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Inalum), PT\nAneka Tambang Tbk (Antam) and Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC). These\nthree entities are developing downstream industries in partnership with\nprospective and existing investors from various countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother example is what our colleagues at MIND ID are doing. It has\nInalum, Antam and IBC. They are pursuing downstreaming in partnership\nwith prospective or existing investors from other countries as well,\u201d\nPahala said, as quoted on Monday (26 October 2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to Pahala, nickel downstreaming covers several\ninterconnected stages of production, from processing nickel into mixed\nhydroxide precipitate (MHP) and nickel sulphate to producing cathodes,\nbattery cells and battery packs.<\/p>\n<p>Developing this production chain requires investment at various\nstages to establish an integrated battery industry ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>For the MIND ID Group, developing the value chain involves several\nentities with related business activities. Antam plays a role in nickel\nmining, while IBC is involved in developing the battery ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Partnering with strategic investors is one approach to supporting the\ndevelopment of downstream industries and higher-value products. However,\nthe sector also faces challenges related to capital requirements and\ncertainty of raw material supplies.<\/p>\n<p>In response, National Economic Council (DEN) Executive Secretary\nSeptian Hario Seto said investment in downstream industries requires\nseveral times more capital than investment in upstream sectors.<\/p>",
