        "summary": "Daihatsu maintains price stability for four months despite rising production costs and global pressures, citing ongoing efficiency measures and increased localisation. With localisation above 80% but some imported components remaining, the company is restructuring manufacturing and tightening supply-chain collaboration to shield consumers, particularly first-car buyers, from cost pressures.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, Kompas.com - PT Astra Daihatsu Motor (ADM) confirms its\nvehicle prices remain stable and have not risen in the last four months,\neven as the automotive sector continues to face production-cost\npressures and global economic dynamics. The current state of the\nautomotive industry faces challenges ranging from movements in\nraw-material costs, reliance on imported components, to exchange-rate\nfluctuations that affect production costs. However, Daihatsu has chosen\nto implement internal adjustments to keep prices to consumers stable.\n\u2018The fluctuations will need to be adjusted, but the sustainability of\nthe industry must go on,\u2019 said Sri Agung in Tangerang on Wednesday (20\nMay 2026). He explained that the localisation level of Daihatsu\ncomponents in Indonesia has now risen to more than 80 percent. Still,\nsome components remain imported, so they remain sensitive to changes in\nglobal costs. In facing this, they have implemented steps such as cost\nproduction efficiency, restructuring on the manufacturing side, and\nstrengthening cooperation with the supply chain to push for increased\nlocal content. \u2018So we are doing a few things, we restructure costs and\nimplement efficiency in our manufacturing. Then we also discuss with the\nsupply chain to find solutions for the localisation development of\nseveral components,\u2019 Sri Agung said. Daihatsu also emphasised that to\ndate there has been no vehicle-price adjustment, although cost pressures\nhave begun to be felt since the start of the year. The company remains\ncautious so that changes in industry conditions are not directly charged\nto consumers, especially the first-car buyer segment which is their main\nmarket. \u2018At this time there is no Daihatsu price increase. In the four\nmonths to date there has been no price increase,\u2019 Sri Agung said. On the\nother hand, the company sees the automotive market still supported by\nthe affordable-vehicle segment and growth in rural areas, which become a\nnew source of demand. This condition helps maintain sales stability amid\na consumer purchasing power that is challenging. KOMPAS.com is committed\nto providing clear, reliable, and balanced facts.
