Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia expressed appreciation to all ESDM sector companies, including the MIND ID Group, for their proactive support of the 2026 Joint Homecoming Programme. According to him, this programme is a form of togetherness between the government, the public, and all stakeholders to realise the joy of Eid in 2026.
“We pray that all our brothers and sisters participating in the joint homecoming programme are always protected during their journey and can celebrate Eid al-Fitr later,” he said, quoted on Wednesday (18/3/2026).
In a separate occasion, the Head of the State-Owned Enterprises Regulatory Agency (BP BUMN), Dony Oskaria, stated that the free homecoming programme is an effort to provide direct benefits to the public, especially during important moments like Eid al-Fitr.
The state, through its state-owned companies including the MIND ID Group, helps the public realise safer and more comfortable homecoming journeys.
“The BUMN Free Homecoming Programme is a manifestation of the spirit of mutual cooperation and BUMN’s care for the public. We want to ensure that the public can undertake their homecoming journeys more safely, comfortably, and arrive safely, while also helping to reduce traffic density during the Eid period,” Dony said.
MIND ID Corporate Secretary Pria Utama stated that joint homecoming has become part of MIND ID’s social responsibility to facilitate public access to their hometowns while helping to ease homecoming traffic congestion.
“Homecoming should feel comfortable on the road and peaceful in the heart. Through synergy with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and BP BUMN, we ensure roadworthy fleets, good departure procedures, and supporting services that allow homecomers to arrive home safely and ready to celebrate Eid,” he said.
Pria emphasised that the Joint Homecoming Programme is MIND ID’s presence in providing direct benefits to the public. Not only through natural resource management but also through various social initiatives that touch public needs, in line with the President’s Asta Cita for improving welfare and social harmony.
According to Pria, the homecoming moment has a meaning beyond just physical travel, but also becomes a space to strengthen family ties and reinforce values of togetherness.
“Homecoming is an important moment for Indonesian society. Therefore, we want to ensure this journey can be undertaken safely, comfortably, and full of happiness,” he concluded.
