DKI Provincial Government Requires Main Guard Industrial Estate Management To Control Emissions
JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government requires managers of industrial and business areas to take responsibility for implementing vehicle emission tests. This new regulation is considered a concrete strategy to reduce air pollution, which is mostly sourced from the transportation sector.
Head of the DKI Jakarta Environment Agency (DLH), Asep Kuswanto, said the policy was contained in the Decree of the Head of DLH Office Number e-0065 of 2025. Regional managers are now placed at the forefront of controlling air quality.
"We put regional managers at the forefront of controlling air quality. This is a form of collective responsibility," Asep said in his statement, Thursday, September 18.
DLH data noted that the transportation sector contributed 75 percent of air pollution in Jakarta, with the largest contribution coming from heavy vehicles.
This condition encourages the DKI Provincial Government to expand its emission test obligation, not only to vehicle owners, but also to regional managers.
"The evaluation of Pergub Number 66 of 2020 shows that a more structured and massive approach is needed," explained Asep.
Through this new regulation, regional managers are required to carry out four main roles, namely data collection on operating vehicles, emission feasibility screening, emission test facilitation, and quarterly reporting to DLH.

This obligation applies to all operational vehicles, including logistics, waste transportation, as well as transportation vehicles for people and goods with categories M, N, O, to motorcycles in the L category. DLH targets this policy to increase the coverage of emission tests by up to 40 percent a year.
"In principle, shared responsibility. So far, the burden is only on vehicle owners and the government. Now regional managers are responsible for creating a healthier environment," said Asep.
DLH will monitor the implementation of this rule before imposing administrative sanctions. The public can also report violations through the JAKI application.
This policy is a real collaboration between the government, business people, and the community. The success of this step will determine the next strategy in handling Jakarta's air pollution," he concluded.
