JAKARTA - The government is still coordinating with a number of parties regarding the incentive rules for buying electric cars or motorcycles in Indonesia, to date.

"There is a possibility (the meeting with the DPR)," Agus said when met at his office, Monday, December 19.

"The government will definitely ask the DPR for permission first," said Agus.
When asked about the number of incentives that are predicted to burden the state budget funds, Agus was reluctant to provide answers. According to him, this is the authority of the government.
"The government is discussing it, yes," he added.
Previously, the Government was finalizing incentive rules for the purchase of electric cars or motorcycles.
Later, these incentives will be given to every purchase of electric vehicles, both cars and motorbikes, which are produced by companies that have factories in Indonesia.
