JAKARTA - The Budget Agency (Banggar) of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI) rejected the proposal for an additional budget for all ministries that are partners with Commission II of the DPR RI. Including, rejecting the proposal for an additional budget for the Capital Archipelago Authority (OIKN) of IDR 14.92 trillion for 2026.
This was confirmed by the Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the Golkar Party faction, Zulfikar Arse Sadikin, after receiving the Banggar Decision directly dated September 11, 2025.
"We received a letter from Banggar as of September 11, 2025 regarding the submission of the results of the discussion of the State Budget Bill for Fiscal Year 2026, eight of our partners based on a letter signed by the Banggar Chairman did not receive any additional proposals submitted," said Zulfikar at the Commission II Working Meeting of the DPR RI together with all partners at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, September 15.
So, how will the IKN project continue next year?
Met by the media after attending the Working Meeting with Commission II of the Indonesian House of Representatives, OICN Chief Basuki Hadimuljono said that if the additional OIKN proposal was not approved, it was feared that it would have an impact on slowing down the progress of the construction of the new capital city of the Republic of Indonesia.
For this reason, Basuki hopes that Commission II of the DPR RI can record the proposal in order to ensure that IKN development continues to be carried out.
"Yes, it will certainly affect (if it is not approved), the progress can be reversed again," he said.
Previously, based on the Joint Letter of the Indicative Ceiling (SBPI) of the Minister of Finance and the Minister of National Development Planning/Head of Bappenas Number S-356/MK.02/2025 and Number B-383/D.9/PP.04.03/05/2025 issued on May 15, 2025, the OIKN indicative ceiling was set at IDR 5.05 trillion.
Even so, the indicative ceiling is considered far to meet development in 2026. The reason is, OIKN needs an additional budget of IDR 16.13 trillion to continue new projects at IKN.

"We need a budget of IDR 5.05 trillion, plus IDR 16.13 trillion," he explained.
