        "summary": "Indonesia's Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has revealed that incentives for electric vehicles (EVs), including cars and the latest generation of electric motorcycles, are currently being discussed with relevant authorities and industry stakeholders such as Gaikindo. The Minister of Industry, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, confirmed ongoing coordination with the Finance Ministry on motorcycle incentives while preparing regulations to accelerate EV adoption, particularly for motorcycles, without halting conventional motorcycle production, which will shift towards export markets. This initiative aligns with President Prabowo Subianto's directive to transition all vehicles to electric power, aiming to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.",

The incentives will be directed towards the latest\ngeneration of electric motorcycles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will still discuss it with the Industry Minister, approximately\nthere will be incentives for the new electric motorcycles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The same was expressed by Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang\nKartasasmita.<\/p>\n<p>The Industry Minister conveyed that regarding electric motorcycle\nincentives, his side has already communicated with the Ministry of\nFinance, and emphasised that the amount of incentives is still under\ndiscussion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s still being discussed,\u201d said the Industry Minister when met in\nJakarta on Thursday (9\/4).<\/p>\n<p>He mentioned that the government is currently preparing regulations\nto support the acceleration of electric vehicle adoption, particularly\nmotorcycles.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the production of conventional-based motorcycles will not\nbe stopped, but rather directed to meet export market needs, especially\nto non-traditional regions.<\/p>\n<p>He also conveyed that President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s directive\nemphasises that all vehicles in the future will be electric-based, in\nline with the increasing importance of efforts to reduce dependence on\nfossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, because now it\u2019s increasingly clear the importance of that, to\nreduce our dependence on fossil fuels. So indeed, there is no other\nchoice that we must convert to electric,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
