        "summary": "Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD's factory in Subang industrial estate is progressing significantly, with the main building structure already standing despite remaining finishing touches. The 108-hectare facility is expected to begin mass production in the first quarter, though the company has not yet announced an official launch date or inaugural production ceremony. This represents one of the largest automotive investments to enter the Subang industrial zone in recent years.",
        "content": "<p>Construction of the electric vehicle factory belonging to the Chinese\ncompany in the Subang industrial zone continues to show significant\nprogress. The industrial zone, managed by Suryacipta, reports that\nconstruction of the production facility has been proceeding massively\nand the main building structure is already complete.<\/p>\n<p>Binawati Dewi, General Manager of Sales &amp; Tenant Relations at\nSuryacipta, stated that the physical construction of the BYD electric\nvehicle factory is already clearly visible on site, though completion\nhas not yet been fully realised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, but it seems not 100% fully finished yet. But physically it\u2019s\nthere and the construction is already very intensive,\u201d said Dewi in\nJakarta, Friday (13 March 2025).<\/p>\n<p>The progress of factory construction is particularly evident in the\nmain building structure that has already risen to considerable\nheight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you go there directly, you can clearly see the progress. The\nbuilding is already complete, and even the office has already been\nconstructed at considerable height,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The factory stands on a fairly extensive plot of land with nearly the\nentire area being utilised for production facility development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe land area is approximately 108 hectares. From what I saw in the\nfield, the land is truly being built up completely,\u201d Dewi explained.<\/p>\n<p>Despite rapid construction, the mass production phase of electric\nvehicles is estimated not to commence in the very near term. Dewi stated\nthat production processes are still awaiting completion of the final\nstage of construction as well as an inauguration ceremony agenda.<\/p>\n<p>She added that global automotive companies typically hold special\nevents when local production begins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust wait, usually if there\u2019s a first production or launching of\nlocal production there\u2019s definitely a ceremony,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the original target that had circulated suggested that\nlocal production was expected to begin in the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I heard was the target was in the first quarter. But I haven\u2019t\nyet seen any news regarding inaugural production,\u201d said Dewi.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of the production facility represents one of the largest\nautomotive investments entering the Subang industrial zone in recent\nyears.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of land size, it\u2019s indeed very large. A single factory can\nbe more than 100 hectares,\u201d she noted.<\/p>",
