ASTRA International is strengthening its business focus on the automotive, financial services, and heavy equipment and mining solutions sectors to maximise long-term corporate growth. The President Director of PT Astra International Tbk, Rudy Chen, stated that the company will implement a targeted business development strategy aligned with its ecosystem and management capabilities, while building strategic partnerships.

“Overall, this strategy is expected to strengthen the quality of the business portfolio and increase capital efficiency, resulting in profit growth and added value for all stakeholders,” Rudy said in a written statement on Thursday, 4 June 2026.

Rudy noted that these three sectors contribute 90 per cent of the company’s profits. The automotive business will optimise Astra’s extensive automotive ecosystem, ranging from new and used vehicle sales and spare parts to after-sales services and support from its customer network across Indonesia.

In the financial services sector, Astra aims to optimise the full potential of its ecosystem through diverse products and services for various customer segments. Meanwhile, in the heavy equipment and mining solutions sector, the company’s focus will be on strengthening the supply chain ecosystem and developing new growth sources to enhance competitiveness.

“Historically, Astra has possessed a diversified business model that continues to provide added value to the company today,” said Rudy.

He ensured that the company will evaluate every business line and various aspects, including market challenges, the optimisation of strategic positions for each business line, future profit potential, and investment returns. Furthermore, discipline in capital allocation will be maintained, alongside strengthening capital expenditure for maintenance, consistent dividend payments, and investments that provide added value, as well as conducting share buybacks at appropriate valuation levels.

Over the last decade, Astra International’s net profit has risen from Rp 15 trillion in 2015 to Rp 33 trillion in 2025. Dividend distributions to shareholders also increased from Rp 113 per share in 2015 to Rp 390 per share in 2025.

The company has also made social contributions through flagship programmes such as the Astra Prosperous Village (Desa Sejahtera Astra), which covers four areas: health, education, entrepreneurship, and the environment. More than 1,500 villages across 35 provinces have been mentored, reportedly providing a tangible impact to 3 million beneficiaries.
