Prabowo Inaugurates Construction of 13 Downstreaming Projects, Here is the List

President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, inaugurated the construction of 13 downstreaming projects in phase two in several regions across Indonesia, with an estimated investment value of Rp116 trillion.

The construction of these 13 downstreaming projects in phase two represents the government’s step and strategy to accelerate industrialisation based on natural resources in order to increase added value and strengthen national energy resilience.

President Prabowo Subianto explained that this groundbreaking is for the second phase of downstreaming projects, encompassing 13 initiatives worth Rp116 trillion. These include five energy sector projects, five mineral projects, and three agricultural projects.

“The first phase of downstreaming mentioned earlier had 13 projects in 13 locations, and shortly, this year we will also add six more downstreaming projects, and we will continue to add them. There might be phases 4, 5, 6, God willing, this year as well,” Prabowo clarified during the inauguration in Cilacap, Central Java, on Wednesday (29/4/2026).

The Minister of Investment & Downstreaming or BKPM, concurrently CEO of Danantara, Rosan P. Roeslani, stated that this groundbreaking was held simultaneously at 13 locations across Indonesia.

“Previously, we carried out phase 1 downstreaming in February (13 projects). This (phase 2) project will be inaugurated. There is still phase 3 with six downstreaming projects; if we total them, around 30 projects. We see that these downstreaming projects in terms of added value, industry, and job creation will reach 600,000 people,” Rosan explained in Cilacap, Central Java, on Wednesday (29/4/2026).

Here is the complete list of the 13 downstreaming projects in phase two:

Projects 1-2:
