The new contracts of the company consist of central government\nprojects at 60.2 per cent, private sector at 17.1 per cent, regional\ngovernment at 8.9 per cent, and contributions from subsidiaries at 13.7\nper cent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain selective in choosing projects to be undertaken. Waskita\nKarya avoids investment projects and focuses on monthly payment scheme\nprojects with upfront payments,\u201d said Ermy.<\/p>\n
Based on the segmentation of work types, Ermy revealed that\nconnectivity infrastructure dominates with 46 per cent, followed by\nwater infrastructure projects at 33.9 per cent, and buildings at 6.3 per\ncent.<\/p>\n
One of the central government projects to be implemented this year\nincludes the Post-Disaster Area Arrangement in Aceh Tamiang Regency,\nNorth Aceh, and East Aceh.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, the Urgent Handling of Emergency Natural Disaster Response on\nthe Bireun City-Takengon City Road Section, as well as the Central Aceh\nRegency Road and Bridge,\u201d said Ermy.<\/p>\n
Ermy continued that the company has once again recorded the\nacquisition of new contract value from abroad, namely working on the\nPresidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport Terminal (PNLIA) in\nTimor Leste.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year, the company had already begun constructing the PNLIA\ndevelopment project,\u201d said Ermy.<\/p>\n
Over the past 10 years, she revealed that the company has built 30\ndams, 41 irrigation systems, 20 hospital facilities (RS), 15 educational\nfacilities, 92 toll roads, and 19 regional connectivity projects.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are committed to continuing to support the President\u2019s priority\nprogrammes, including eradicating extreme poverty, equitable welfare\ndistribution, improving education quality, and driving the success of\nthe Quick Best Results Programme,\u201d said Ermy.<\/p>\n
She further stated that the company also ensures every infrastructure\nis carried out with the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) or\ngood corporate governance, to ensure smooth implementation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWaskita Karya also continues to strengthen risk management while\nsupporting sustainable development. One of them is by boosting the\nabsorption of local labour in every project location,\u201d said Ermy.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, she added, the company is optimistic about securing\nmore new contract values and improving performance this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis optimism is supported by the increase in the Ministry of Public\nWorks budget to Rp118.5 trillion from the initial indicative allocation\nfor 2026 of Rp70.86 trillion,\u201d said Ermy.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/waskita-karya-secures-new-contracts-worth-rp3-1-trillion-in-q1-2026-1778149003", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
