Director General of Spatial Planning at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), Suyus Windayana, has affirmed that accelerating the preparation and integration of Detailed Spatial Plans (RDTR) with the Online Single Submission (OSS) system is the key to attracting infrastructure investment in Indonesia.

Suyus made the remarks while speaking at the thematic forum on Infrastructure Investment Process in Indonesia, part of the International Conference on Infrastructure (ICI) 2025 held on Wednesday (11 June 2025) at the Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC).

"To attract investors, the government has introduced two important policies. First, on the regulatory side, we have a strong foundation through the Job Creation Law and Government Regulation Number 21 of 2021. These regulations provide numerous facilitations for business activities, non-business activities, and national strategic projects," said Suyus Windayana.

He explained that the Ministry of ATR/BPN continues to push for the accelerated preparation of RDTR across various regions. The national target is to issue 2,000 RDTR within the coming years, with more than 100 RDTR completed per year. RDTR that have been integrated with OSS have proven to have a significant impact on accelerating location permit services and other business licensing processes.

"Of the approximately 350 RDTR already integrated with OSS, investment permit applications have reached nearly 340,000. Compare this with areas that do not yet have RDTR and are not connected to OSS, where the number is only around 20,000. With OSS, services can be completed within one day," he explained.

Furthermore, Suyus emphasised that Spatial Utilisation Activity Conformity (KKPR) based on RDTR constitutes the initial step in the entire business licensing process. Therefore, the integration of RDTR with OSS has become a national strategic priority.

To date, 645 RDTR have been prepared across Indonesia. However, only 352 have been successfully integrated into the OSS system. To accelerate this process, the Ministry of ATR/BPN together with the Ministry of Investment is currently drafting a Joint Circular Letter urging regional heads to promptly connect their completed RDTR to the OSS system.

"This step will make the process easier, faster, and certainly far more attractive to investors," he added.

The forum was also attended by representatives from the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN).
