Pelindo Launches Free Homecoming Programme for State-Owned Enterprises in 2026
PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero), known as Pelindo, has once again participated in launching participants for the 2026 Free Homecoming Programme (Mudik Gratis BUMN) from the Ring Road area of Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Tuesday, 17 March 2026. The programme represents inter-agency synergy among state-owned enterprises to facilitate smooth homecoming traffic whilst creating a comfortable shared homecoming experience for citizens.
As an annual initiative, the Free Homecoming Programme is implemented by the State-Owned Enterprises Regulatory Body together with BPI Danantara, involving 96 state-owned enterprises and their subsidiaries. Overall, the programme has dispatched 116,688 homecoming travellers to various districts and cities throughout Indonesia.
The implementation offers various transportation modes with guaranteed safety standards, including land transport, railways, and maritime vessels. Infrastructure and Regional Development Coordinating Minister Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono stated that the programme represents the state’s commitment to delivering the best service to citizens.
“This is a collective effort. We have all heard President Prabowo Subianto’s aspirations that if we can provide the best, the finest service for the people, this certainly demonstrates that the state and government are always present for them,” he stated in an official statement.
A total of 83,432 homecoming travellers were transported using approximately 1,541 buses, approximately 28,720 travellers used 99 train sets, whilst 4,532 travellers used 46 maritime vessels. In the programme, Pelindo provided support through 161 buses serving 13 destination cities across various Indonesian regions as part of the company’s active role in ensuring the success of the 2026 Free Homecoming Programme.
Pelindo Chief Executive Officer Achmad Muchtasyar stated that the company’s participation in this programme represents its commitment to supporting social initiatives that provide direct benefits to citizens.
“We hope that through our corporate social and environmental responsibility, this becomes a source of hope for people to be reunited with their families, to experience happiness, refreshment, and then return to Jakarta to work with renewed spirit,” Achmad said.
Through participation in the annual Free Homecoming Programme organised by state-owned enterprises, Pelindo hopes to continue serving wholeheartedly in assisting citizens to return to their hometowns safely and comfortably.
“May this programme run smoothly, may all homecoming travellers reach their destinations safely and return to Jakarta securely,” Achmad concluded.
One programme participant travelling to Solo, Joni, expressed gratitude for being able to participate in the free homecoming programme this year.
“This is my first time joining the free homecoming programme. Thank you to Pelindo for providing transportation for us to return home. I hope this continues every year,” Joni said.
