PAM JAYA and Bin Zayed International Sign NDA for Development of Water Supply System in Jakarta

PAM JAYA signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Bin Zayed International in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Monday (27/4/2026). The signing marks the initial step in exploring cooperation for the development of the drinking water supply system (SPAM) in Jakarta. For information, Bin Zayed International is a company with a portfolio in various sectors, ranging from property, energy, construction, information technology, to infrastructure. This NDA signing also opens opportunities for data exchange and technical studies to accelerate the target of 100% drinking water service coverage in Jakarta. The meeting opens initial communication regarding potential strategic cooperation in the development of basic infrastructure and urban services in Jakarta. PAM JAYA’s President Director, Arief Nasrudin, stated that cooperation with various parties, including Bin Zayed International, is part of the company’s strategy to address the challenges of clean water services in Jakarta. “The directives from the governor and deputy governor are very clear, that fulfilling the basic needs of residents must be done seriously, measurably, and openly to collaboration,” he said in a press release received by Kompas.com on Monday. Arief added that PAM JAYA’s challenges are not only in expanding services but also in efforts to reduce the non-revenue water (NRW) rate. According to him, Jakarta’s condition as a densely populated city with complex underground utility networks makes these efforts not easy. “Reducing NRW is one of PAM JAYA’s major tasks. In Jakarta, the challenges are not simple due to building density, complex utility networks, and continuously increasing service needs,” Arief explained. In addition to SPAM development, Bin Zayed International also expressed interest in Jakarta’s strategic infrastructure projects, including the giant sea wall development. This is seen as aligned with efforts to transform Jakarta into a global city that requires large-scale, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure.
