With the rapid development of the global economy and the acceleration of urbanization, rail transportation has increasingly emerged as a pivotal component of urban transportation systems. Indonesia, being one of the largest economies in Southeast Asia, has made remarkable progress in the field of rail transportation in recent years and demonstrated immense market potential.According to the plans of the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation, substantial investments will be allocated to railway projects, including light rail, the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), high-speed rail, and others, over the coming years, aiming to construct a modern rail transportation network. China has shown increasing interest and support for Indonesia’s rail transportation market. Through international cooperation platforms such as the Belt and Road Initiative, the Chinese government actively promotes collaboration with Indonesia in the rail transportation sector, jointly driving the development of Indonesia’s rail industry.
This summit aims to bring together elite professionals from the global rail transportation industry to discuss the latest trends, technological innovations, and market opportunities in the field. It will invite rail transportation experts, scholars, business representatives, and government officials from Indonesia and around the world to share experiences, exchange ideas, and propel the sustainable development of Indonesia’s rail transportation industry.

Supporting Unit
PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia-China (PT KCIC)
PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia-China (PT KCIC) is a joint venture established by Indonesian and Chinese companies, responsible for the construction and operation of Indonesia’s first high-speed railway, the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway. This project not only marks a significant milestone in Indonesia’s transportation infrastructure but also stands as a flagship initiative under the Belt and Road Initiative, symbolizing the deepening cooperation between Indonesia and China.
The Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway connects Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, with Bandung, the country’s fourth-largest city, spanning approximately 142 kilometers with a design speed of 350 km/h. The project is expected to officially commence operations in 2023, significantly reducing travel time between the two cities from the current 3 hours to just 40 minutes, thereby enhancing regional transportation efficiency and economic development.
Looking ahead, PT KCIC plans to further expand its high-speed rail network by 2025 and beyond, exploring the possibility of extending the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway to other major cities in Indonesia, such as Surabaya and Yogyakarta. These expansion projects will significantly strengthen Indonesia’s railway network, promote regional economic integration, and provide local residents with more convenient and efficient travel options.
As a supporting unit of this year’s Indonesia Railway Summit, PT KCIC will share its extensive experience in high-speed rail construction, operation, and management. The company will also engage in discussions with industry experts, government representatives, and business leaders on the future development of rail transportation in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. We look forward to leveraging this summit to further drive innovation and collaboration within Indonesia’s railway sector, contributing to the sustainable development of the regional economy.
