Basuki says 170 projects in IKN prioritise quality
Nusantara (ANTARA) - The Head of the Nusantara Capital City Authority (OIKN) has said that all 170 projects in IKN, whether completed or still under construction, prioritise quality in order to guarantee occupant safety, energy efficiency, support for the long-term economy and other benefits.
“Occupational safety and health are always tightened to minimise workplace accidents. Accidents can happen at any time, so anticipation and vigilance must be prioritised,” said OIKN Head Basuki Hadimuljono in Nusantara on Thursday.
He went on to say that in carrying out the work, his side is moving quickly so that the 2028 target can be met, but this acceleration is still carried out safely and comfortably, guided by three development pillars: quality, aesthetics and environmental sustainability.
To ensure all work proceeds according to target, OIKN routinely conducts monitoring and evaluation together with private investors, ministries and agencies, construction service providers, construction consultants and master construction management.
He also said that the development of IKN is supported through several financing schemes, namely state budget (APBN) support implemented by ministries, APBN implemented through the Government Cooperation with Business Entities (KPBU) mechanism, and purely private investment.
“For development funded by the state budget, it is not only implemented by OIKN, but also supported by the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas,” he said.
Of the 170 projects, those funded by the state budget and managed by OIKN comprise 40 physical projects, with details of nine packages completed in 2025, 15 packages in the construction stage, and 16 packages in the tender preparation stage.
Packages still under construction include office buildings and the judicial and legislative areas, road networks, retention ponds, water retention basins and drinking water pipeline networks as part of the drinking water management system and basic urban services in IKN.
The Ministry of Public Works is handling 90 physical work packages, with 78 packages completed and 12 still under construction. Several ongoing strategic projects include the IKN Toll Road, the Pulau Balang Short-Span Bridge duplication and a number of other supporting roads.
The Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas is managing 12 development packages. Eleven packages have been completed and one package is in the construction stage, namely the construction of flats for low-income residents who have been relocated to support area arrangement in the context of IKN development.
Under the private investment scheme there are 15 projects. To date, 67 businesses have signed cooperation agreements (PKS). Of that number, nine projects have been completed, while six projects have entered the construction stage.
These projects include the Gunadarma Nusantara University campus, Abdi Waluyo Hospital, Teras by Plataran, apartments by PT Star Bright International Investment, a mixed-use area by PT Fajar Maju Karya Gemilang, and apartments by PT Dian Jaya Indonesia.
“Meanwhile, through the KPBU scheme, there are 13 initiator projects, consisting of seven in the housing sector and six in the roads sector. In the near future, this scheme will enter the construction stage of 108 landed houses initiated by PT Intiland Development Tbk, followed by eight apartment towers initiated by PT Nindya Karya,” said Basuki.
