Government Allocates Rp1.9 Trillion for Three Toll Road Projects in Java

The Ministry of Public Works (KemenPU) is preparing a budget of Rp3.29 trillion in its 2027 Work Plan and Budget (RKA) to support the construction and completion of several toll road projects. The Head of the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) of the Ministry of Public Works, Ni Komang Rasminiati, stated that this budget will be used to support three specific toll road developments.

“For the construction of toll roads, particularly those involving government construction support, Rp3.2trillion has already been allocated in the 2027 RKA,” Komang said during a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta.

She revealed that the three toll projects receiving government construction support are the Serang-Panimbang Toll Road in Banten, the Semarang-Demak Toll Road (specifically the Semarang-Sayung section) in Central Java, and the Patimban Access Toll Road in West Java.

In addition to the construction support budget, the allocation also includes funds to meet the government’s obligations regarding the periodic service-based payments (PBBL) for toll roads in Sumatra, specifically the Betung-Tempino-Jambi Toll Road.

Komang noted that the PBBL budget requirement for the Betung-Tempino-Jambi Toll Road in 2027 reaches Rp1.5 trillion. However, the amount currently allocated stands at only Rp1.345 trillion.

“The requirement for 2027 is actually Rp1.5 trillion, but currently, only Rp1.345 trillion has been allocated,” she said.

Consequently, there remains a budget deficit of approximately Rp155 billion to meet this obligation. The BPJT hopes that this shortfall can be covered by any remaining available funds.

“Our hope is that during the upcoming period, there will be surplus budgets that can be reallocated to meet this obligation,” she concluded.
