Governor Pramono Opens Path for PT MIKO's SJUT Project to Continue

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has ensured that the development of the Integrated Utility Network System (SJUT), or Underground Ducting System, will be one of the main priorities in the development of the capital’s infrastructure. The arrangement of underground utility networks is considered essential to support a more organised, modern, and safe Jakarta.

While receiving the Board of Commissioners and Directors of PT Modular Inti Konstrindo (MIKO) alongside the Special Staff of the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM, Didi Apriadi, at the Jakarta City Hall Residence on Friday (26/6/2026), Pramono noted that the need for an integrated utility network in Jakarta remains very high and must be accelerated.

“It must be acknowledged that the provision of integrated utility network facilities (SJUT) for Jakarta is still far from adequate and must be increased. Implementation must also follow the provisions and comply with the established legal umbrella regulations,” said Pramund Anung.

According to Pramono, the Jakarta Provincial Government welcomes investor involvement in the development of SJUT, provided that its implementation refers to applicable rules and provides legal certainty for all parties.

Consequently, the cooperation with PT MIKO, which had been suspended since 2023 after commencing in 2022, is deemed capable of being continued. However, all cooperation mechanisms must be aligned with the latest regulations to ensure a stronger legal basis.

He explained that the Build Operate Transfer (BOT) scheme, agreed upon for 17 years, remains possible to execute. However, its implementation must refer to the latest Governor Regulation established in December 2025, which becomes effective in July 2026.

“To be honest, the previous MIKO agreement had weaknesses regarding its legal umbrella and was unprotected, so adjustments to the new Governor Regulation or regional regulations are necessary. But in principle, we agree to continue, and these adjustments are needed so that PT MIKO is not disadvantaged. Therefore, please communicate this further with the working partner we have directly appointed, the BUMD Jakpro,” the Governor stated firmly.

On the same occasion, the Special Staff of the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM, Didi Apriadi, expressed appreciation for the leadership of Pramono Anung and Vice Governor Rano Karno. He noted that a conducive governance climate is a vital asset for the growth of investment in Jakarta.

He emphasised that his ministry is interested in maintaining investment certainty, including the SJUT project, which is entirely funded by private investment without using the Regional Budget (APBD).

“However, according to our duties, Governor, we must support a friendly investment climate and ensure the economic ecosystem functions well. Regarding the SJUT development cooperation with PT MIKO, which does not use the APBD and is purely investment-based, we certainly hope for a solution-oriented policy, considering the tens of billions in investment that has already been underway, so that it remains linear with the factual conditions on the ground,” said Didi.

Responding to these directions, the representative of the Board of Commissioners and Directors of PT MIKO, Ediwan Prabowo, expressed the company’s commitment to following all policies of the Jakarta Provincial Government, including adjustments to new regulations in cooperation with Jakarta Infrastruktur Propertindo (JIP).

“As a national investment company that has accompanied the SJUT development across 24 kilometres, in principle, we will follow the Governor’s directions. This includes the need to adjust to regional regulations and the new Governor Regulation to partner with the appointed party. Thank you for the guidance and your time, Governor,” said Ediwan.

The meeting was also attended by the Jakarta Regional Secretary Uus Kuswanto, the President Director of PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) Iwan Takwin, and several officials from regional apparatus organisations related to the SJUT project.
