DSI Officially Becomes a SOE, Ready to Manage Strategic Natural Resources Exports

PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) officially has the status of a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN). The company will later play a role as the sole exporter of a number of strategic Indonesian natural resource commodities (SDA).

Head of the State-Owned Enterprises Regulatory Agency (BP) and Danantara Chief Operating Officer (COO), Dony Oskaria, said the process of changing the status of PT DSI into a state-owned enterprise had been completed after the signing was carried out today.

"Today it has become a state-owned enterprise, yes. It was completed this morning, we have signed," said Dony at the DPR RI Building, Jakarta, Monday, May 25.

Dony explained that the change in status made the state through BP BUMN now holding 1 percent of the Series A Dwiwarna shares in PT DSI as a condition for the company to become a BUMN.

"Today it has become a state-owned enterprise, because the process must have 1 percent of state-owned shares with special authority," he said.

For information, PT DSI was established on May 18, 2026 with the status of a national private company. However, the company is now officially included in the BUMN structure to support the management of exports of national strategic commodities.

PT DSI is projected to become the sole exporter for a number of strategic natural resources commodities, starting from crude palm oil (CPO), coal, to ferrous alloys.

Previously, Danantara Indonesia CEO Rosan Roeslani revealed that the establishment of this SDA export management body was a follow-up to President Prabowo Subianto's direction to increase transaction transparency.

"The point I am conveying is the transparency of transactions, both in terms of volume, pricing, to delivery. We want to achieve a good and correct mechanism to provide added value for all of us," he said in a press conference at the DPR Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, May 20.

For the initial stage, continued Rosan, the management carried out by DSI is limited to comprehensive recording of export documents.

"We convey that all transactions related to exports are only reporting first, reporting first, Q-Q comprehensively to us," said Rosan.
