Acting (Pj) Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono said the government had set a temporary MRT phase 2 depot location on land owned by PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol.

Heru said the land was wide enough to become a storage area and maintenance for the MRT train.

"Yesterday at the flat (limited meeting) it was decided while on land owned by PT Jaya Ancol, inside Ancol near Hailai. What is clear is that it is part of the existing reclamation permit (area). It will be used as a depot," said Heru at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Friday, July 28.

He continued, Heru said that the DKI Provincial Government and PT MRT Jakarta would complete the requirements in the form of study results for feasibility studies and other documents to be submitted to the central government.

"This is being discussed and of course there are requirements that must be submitted at the central level. A letter will be submitted," said Heru.

The Jakarta MRT 2A phase work has seven underground stations, namely Thamrin, Monas, Harmoni, Sawah Besar, Mangga Besar, Glodok and Kota Stations. Meanwhile, phase 2B was continued with the construction of two stations, namely Mangga Dua, Ancol, and one depot.

Initially, the plan for the MRT phase 2 depot would be placed in Bandan Village, North Jakarta. However, it turns out that PT KAI as the land owner also plans to use it with third parties.

There are new options for placing the MRT depot in West Ancol. However, MRT has not been able to get the land for depots to be built.

The obstacle is that the building rights (HGB) part of the land in West Ancol still belongs to a Japanese company, PT waymas Flat Glass, even though the land utilization rights (HPL) belongs to the DKI Provincial Government on behalf of PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol BUMD.

There are 7 HGB areas that have been contracted to PT waymas and 3 other HGB owned by DKI BUMD, namely PT Jakpro. The expiration date for HGBtechmas varies. HGB ends in 2022 and ends in 2029 the most.

Now, the DKI Provincial Government has just decided on a temporary location for the placement of depots, until finally the DKI Provincial Government has succeeded in obtaining land to build a permanent MRT phase 2 depot.

"Our depot uses it more efficiently. So, while the depot is minimalist. Right, it's still underground. So, we calculate from the financing side, the depot is still temporary. Unlike other depots," said Heru, some time ago.
