JAKARTA - The government of Batang Regency, Central Java, has ensured that the Tesla company, which is engaged in the automotive and energy storage sector from the United States, will build a factory in the Batang Integrated Industrial Estate.

"Yes, that's true. According to information from the Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board, Tesla will invest in the Batang Integrated Industrial Estate", said Batang Regent Wihaji in Batang, quoted from Antara, Friday, May 20.

According to him, the presence of investors in Tesla's electric car manufacturer, led by Elon Musk, will be a signal that Batang Regency will become extraordinarily known to foreign and domestic entrepreneurs.

Moreover, the company which is engaged in automotive and energy storage, he said, will invest in KIT Batang in two forms, namely the car battery ecosystem and its electric car.

Regent Wihaji said that in June 2022, a shoe factory, electric car factory, electric motorcycle factory, pipe factory, paint factory, and lighting factory will be built in the Batang Integrated Industrial Estate.

"There are already 14 companies that are ready to invest and build factories in the industrial area", he said.

This Golkar Party politician said that the establishment of KITB should be used by local communities and from now on they have prepared human resource skills.

"Residents should not only be spectators but need to be prepared with the presence of the Batang KIT. At least they must graduate from high school/vocational school and if they can go to college, parents who have children let's pay attention to their education because the Batang KIT will require a lot of manpower", he said.
