JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) revealed that the Nusantara State Capital (IKN) development project prioritizes the use of domestic products or the Domestic Component Level (TKDN). "Especially for IKN, this provision for the obligation to use TKDN has been included in the auction process so that it automatically enters the development contract," said the Head of the IKN Infrastructure Implementation Task Force of the Ministry of PUPR Danis Hidayat Sumadilaga in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, quoted from Antara, Sunday, January 15. Danis said that IKN project development actors are required to use domestic products where their components can already be produced domestically. in terms of domestic production or TKDN, the core must be included in the contract," said Danis. Previously, the Construction Services Development Institute (LPJK) of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) revealed the optimization of TKN projects in the construction of IKN Nusantara.

LPJK Coordinator V of the Ministry of PUPR Manlian Ronald A. Simanjuntak said that this TKDN is really being fought for so that 70 percent to 80 percent is in Indonesia. The strategy is that the LPJK encourages starting from construction workforce, then applicators, materials, business entities including service providers to ensure their human resources come from Indonesia. Meanwhile, material matters, how is the availability of local materials. Even if there is material from abroad, the manufacturer is made to produce in Indonesia, including equipment, assembly to the availability of spare parts and so on.
