DSI Officially Becomes BUMN, Set to Recruit Professionals

JAKARTA - PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (Persero), or PT DSI, will recruit professional staff following its official transition to a state-owned enterprise (BUMN). The company was previously a national private entity established on 18 May 2026 but officially became a BUMN today, Monday (25 May 2026).

Dony Oskaria, Head of the BUMN Management Agency (BP) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Danantara, stated recruitment will be handled by a dedicated team open to professionals from diverse backgrounds.

PT DSI will operate as an export-focused BUMN, serving as the sole exporter for strategic natural resources commodities.

Pandu Patria Sjahrir, Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Danantara, confirmed PT DSI is a new BUMN entity, not a transformation or rebranding of an existing BUMN.

“No,” Pandu replied curtly when asked if DSI was a modification of an existing state-owned enterprise.

This contrasts with new BUMNs formed under President Prabowo Subianto’s administration, such as PT Agrinas Palma Nusantara (Persero), transformed from PT Indra Karya (Persero), PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara (Persero) from PT Yodya Karya (Persero), and PT Agrinas Jaladri Nusantara from PT Virama Karya (Persero).

Previously, according to data from the Directorate General of Legal Administration (AHU) under the Ministry of Law, PT Danantara Investment Management (Persero) held 99 Series A shares of DSI, while PT Danantara Mitra Sinergi owned one Series B share.

However, following its BUMN status, shareholding structure changed: the state, via the BUMN Management Agency, now holds 1 per cent of Dwiwarna Series A shares, and Danantara Investment Management Agency (BPI) controls 99 per cent of Series B shares.

The status change was confirmed in a post by Danantara’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rosan Roeslani on Instagram (@rosanroeslani), showing him signing documents with Dony and Pandu to formalise PT DSI’s transition to a BUMN (Persero).

Initially, PT DSI will manage crude palm oil (CPO), coal, and ferrous alloys as an export-specific BUMN, with the single-door export system commencing on 1 June 2026 and full implementation by 1 January 2027.
