        "summary": "Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has explained the government's decision to reduce the electric motorcycle purchase incentive from Rp5 million to Rp3 million per unit. While the per-unit subsidy is lower, the programme's coverage has been expanded from 500,000 to one million units, keeping the total budget at Rp3 trillion. Purbaya acknowledged that domestic production capacity remains a major constraint, with year-end uptake likely to reach only around 100,000 units.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has spoken out\nregarding the electric motorcycle incentive, which has been reduced to\nRp3 million per unit from the originally planned Rp5 million per\nunit.<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya said that despite the reduction in the incentive value per\nunit, its coverage is broader than the initial plan. The government has\nprepared an incentive of Rp3 million for every purchase of a\ndomestically produced electric motorcycle. With a target of one million\nunits, the total budget prepared reaches Rp3 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe amount was previously Rp5 million for 500,000. Now it is Rp3\nmillion for 1 million motorcycles. The total cost is Rp3 trillion,\u201d he\ntold journalists at the Juanda Building in Jakarta on Friday\n(28\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Regarding this incentive, Purbaya previously estimated that\nrealisation of its distribution this year would not yet reach the target\nof one million units. He estimated that sales of electric motorcycles\nutilising the government incentive by the end of the year would likely\nonly reach around 100,000 units.<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya explained that the programme announced by President Prabowo\nis the same programme as the electric motorcycle incentive scheme to be\nimplemented by the government.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Purbaya assessed that the production capacity of the\nnational electric motorcycle industry remains the main challenge.\nTherefore, the government estimates that the number of electric\nmotorcycles that can be absorbed by the end of the year is still far\nbelow the one million unit target.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the production capacity of several domestic\nelectric motorcycle manufacturers is still limited. In fact, some\nmanufacturers have production capacity of only tens of thousands of\nunits per year.<\/p>",
