JAKARTA - PT Hutama Karya (Persero) noted that the Traffic Volume (VLL) on managed sections increased by 7 percent during the first semester of 2023.

EVP Corporate Secretary Hutama Karya Tjahjo Purnomo said this VLL growth was caused by the increase in new sections operating, such as the Pekanbaru-Bangkinang Toll Road and the Sigli-Banda Aceh Toll Road Section 5-6.

"We also project 2.3 percent of VLL growth in the remainder of 2023, so that revenue from toll roads can increase," he said in a written statement, quoted Thursday, August 3.

Currently, Hutama Karya is still focused on completing JTTS in the 8 toll roads phase I. The progress of each of these toll roads is the Sigli-Banda Aceh Toll Road (74 km) with a total construction progress of 82.07 percent, the Indrapura-Kisaran Toll Road (48 km) with a construction progress of 88.20 percent, the Kuala Tanjung-Tebing Tinggi-Parapat Toll Road (93 km) with a construction progress of 85.59 percent, and the Sp. Indralaya-Muara Enim Section Indralaya-Prabumulih (65 km) with a construction progress of 100 percent.

Then, the Padang-Sicincin Toll Road (36 km) with construction progress reached 35.63 percent, the Pekanbaru-Pangkalan Toll Road (65 km) Pekanbaru-Bangkinang Section (40 km) with construction progress of 93.21 percent, and the Bangkinang-Koto Kampar Section (25 km) with construction progress of 76.61 percent, as well as the Binjai-Langsa Toll Road section Binjai-Pangkalan Brandan (58 km) with construction progress reaching 82.62 percent.

In addition, Hutama Karya is projected to maintain financial performance in accordance with the 2023 projected target of new contract project opportunities that will be tendered this year.

"This is driven by the start of the return of projects that had stalled after COVID-19," he added.
