JAKARTA PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI requested an injection of state capital participation (PMN) of IDR 2 trillion for the 2024 period. The funds will be used to procure the Jabodetabek KRL train circuit.
KAI President Director Didiek Hartantyo said the electric rail train or KRL currently operating is over 30 years old. Therefore, he said, it is necessary to rejuvenate the facilities operated by KAI subsidiaries, PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia or KAI Commuter.
"Rejuvenation of KRL facilities is needed so that KAI Commuter can carry out public service assignments for people's transportation by train, it is clear that the economy or PSO is mandated by the government through the Ministry of Transportation," said Didiek in a Hearing Meeting with Commission XI of the DPR at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Monday, July 1.
Didiek explained that based on his calculations, KAI must replace 37 trainsets by 2027 to ensure the safety and reliability of the KRL fleet.

Furthermore, Didiek explained that additional facilities were also needed because it was predicted that the number of Jabodetabek KRL passengers could reach 410 million people by 2027.
If there is no procurement of new KRL facilities, continued Didiek, the Jabodetabek KRL occupancy rate can penetrate 242 percent during peak hours.
"For this reason, PMN's additional approval in 2024 to PT KAI is IDR 2 trillion for the urgent procurement of KRL facilities," said Didiek.
