JAKARTA - PT Pos Indonesia (Persero) is involved in the development project for the National Capital City (IKN) Nusantara by presenting warehousing services that carry the concept of digitization to maximize goods delivery and reduce logistics costs.

Pos Indonesia Courier and Logistics Business Director Siti Choiriana said the presence of IKN Nusantara in North Penajam Paser, East Kalimantan, must be something new by thinking about a technology-laden future.

"The warehouse is digital and all access to the office uses technology, so with this concept, we from Pos Indonesia bring proven logistics for IKN and that is end-to-end logistics," he said, quoted from Antara, Monday, July 18.

Choiriana said that Indonesia is an archipelagic country that has land, sea and air. The journey from Aceh to Papua is the same as the journey of a third of the world.

Therefore, Pos Indonesia encourages the renewal of logistics with an integrated concept from end to end or end to end because the IKN project has available airports and ports that are qualified for logistics.

"The readiness of ports and airports is okay. All infrastructure interests to build have also been well prepared, so that we together with other SOEs can produce end-to-end logistics in IKN with a new concept," said Choiriana.

Pos Indonesia collaborates with a number of SOEs ranging from Pelindo, Angkasa Pura, Pelni, to Damri to provide good and integrated logistics delivery as a whole, so that any goods brought to IKN will be fast, safe, easy, and cheap because the ecosystem is already formed and ready. .

The Pos Indonesia warehousing system in the IKN project is now equipped with management, transportation, tracking, and ordering with current and digital concepts.

"We are also preparing delivery using drones, we will use the latest technology. The speed will definitely be better, the accuracy is certain, the services will be better and the people will definitely be very comfortable," concluded Choiriana.

The Indonesian government stated that the construction of the IKN will be carried out in three stages, in which the first stage of completion is the construction of core infrastructure, including the Presidential Palace, MPR/DPR Building, government offices, TNI-Polri headquarters, and housing until 2024.

In the second half of this year, the government will also build logistical accesses, then routes for infrastructure development.

Furthermore, in 2023, the government will bring around 150 to 200 thousand workers to IKN to catch up on time so that the development target can be achieved according to the target in 2024.

The second phase of IKN development will be carried out in 2025-2035 and the third phase in 2035-2045.

The government needs a total budget of IDR 466 trillion to build IKN Nusantara. Of the total budget of Rp466 trillion, the government plans for 19-20 percent of the APBN, while the rest will come from investment and partnerships with the private sector.

Previously, President Joko Widodo was optimistic that infrastructure development at IKN Nusantara could run smoothly and according to the planned deadline considering the government has experience in building a number of infrastructures, including the Yogyakarta International Airport in Kulon Progo which has many challenges.
