IKN Nusantara Development Project Encourages GIS Sales Growth
JAKARTA - PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) in 2023 recorded sales of 40.62 million tons, an increase of 10 percent compared to the previous period. The increase, which was driven by sales of domestic and export cement, was contributed by the involvement of SIG in various National Strategic Projects (PSN) such as the development of the State Capital (IKN) Nusantara infrastructure in East Kalimantan, the Trans Sumatra Toll Road, as well as other national strategic projects.

Currently, GIS supplies 3,000 4,000 tons per day to support the development needs of the Nusantara IKN infrastructure. From December 2022 to February 2024, GIS has supplied 400 thousand tons of building materials from facilities in Balikpapan and Samarinda.
