        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo\nhas spoken about the progress of the Puncak Toll Road project. The plan\nto build the Puncak Toll Road is still in process under a Public-Private\nPartnership (PPP) scheme with private-sector initiative or unsolicited.\nThis scheme was chosen because traffic potential on the Puncak route is\nconsidered large enough to attract investors to propose the project on\ntheir own. \u2018If the Puncak toll, it will still be processed as a PPP, the\nunsolicited PPP because we see the traffic is sufficient to justify\nentry into an unsolicited PPP,\u2019 said Dody on Friday (6 March 2026). In\naddition, the progress is still being discussed by the Directorate\nGeneral of Infrastructure Financing (DJPI). Several prospective\ninvestors have also submitted initial proposals in the form of\npreliminary feasibility studies (Pre-Feasibility Study\/Pre-FS). Dody\nadded that the government is evaluating incoming proposals to determine\nthe best offer for the development of the infrastructure. Several\nparties have submitted development proposals under the KPBU mechanism.\n\u2018In due course we will announce it. We are pushing for the Puncak toll\nproject to proceed as quickly as possible so that the congestion there,\nwhich can be said to be almost daily at the moment, can be alleviated\nsoon and the public is not significantly affected by the extraordinary\ncongestion on that route,\u2019 he said. The Puncak Toll is expected to\nbecome an alternative route connecting the Jabodetabek area with West\nJava. This infrastructure is also designed to help relieve the\ncongestion that frequently occurs on the Puncak tourist route,\nespecially on weekends and during holiday seasons.<\/p>",
