While acknowledging the potential for policy flexibility to attract investments, Deputy Chair Chusnunia warns that it could hinder local component industries and urges the government to enforce the 40% TKDN threshold for incentives. This stance aims to foster long-term industrial localisation, energy independence, and a sustainable EV ecosystem from upstream to downstream.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Chair of the House of Representatives\nCommission VII, Chusnunia, stated that the Chinese electric vehicle\nindustry in Indonesia must still meet the Domestic Component Level\n(TKDN), in accordance with the prevailing domestic regulations. \u201cEven\nthough they sell well, Chinese products often use cheaper imported\ncomponents. This triggers discussions regarding relaxing rules for\ninvestment versus the urgency of industrial localisation,\u201d she said in a\nstatement received in Jakarta on Wednesday. According to her, the growth\nof the Chinese automotive industry in Indonesia faces challenges in\nmeeting the TKDN targets. The TKDN regulations for electric vehicles are\nstipulated in Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No.\u00a079 of 2023 on the\nAcceleration of the Battery-Based Electric Motor Vehicle Programme for\nRoad Transportation. She views policy flexibility regarding TKDN as a\ndouble-edged sword because, on one hand, it can attract investment, but\non the other, it risks slowing down the local component industry. \u201cWe\nmust monitor this together and encourage the government to hold Chinese\nEV producers, such as BYD, accountable for meeting the 40 percent TKDN\nrequirement to obtain incentives,\u201d she added. In addition, she\nemphasised that no less important is the long-term policy for the\nindustry, which must still emphasise TKDN localisation to build national\nautomotive industry resilience. Nevertheless, according to her, electric\nvehicles represent the future of the national industry, focused on\nachieving energy independence, reducing pollution, and strengthening\neconomic competitiveness through an integrated battery ecosystem. \u201cThe\nfuture success of this industry depends on collaboration between the\ngovernment and the private sector in building a sustainable ecosystem,\nfrom upstream to downstream,\u201d Chusnunia stated.<\/p>",
