JAKARTA - The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) revealed that the total budget needed to meet various targets related to trains until 2030 reached Rp853 trillion.
Director of Traffic and Rail Transportation, Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation, Arif Anwar said the budget was needed to support the development of the 10,524 kilometer (km) train line until 2030. Including, urban trains around 3,725 km.
"This is a budget of IDR 883 trillion, which is an indication that it will be needed to complete the railway master plan until 2030," he said in a press background, at the Ministry of Transportation Office, Jakarta, Thursday, July 31.
This budget, said Arif, was also used to meet the target of procuring a passenger fleet of 2,839 locomotives and 34,176 trains. Also, supporting the addition of a fleet of 2,475 locomotives and 28,354 carriages.
Then, the target for passenger share modes is 7 to 9 percent, the target for goods transportation shares is 11 to 13 percent. Then, the development of additional railway lines on the islands of Sumatra and Sulawesi.
"So, if we look at those, there are several targets, passengers, then integrated services, developing railroad lines in Sumatra and Sulawesi, developing double lanes, operating high-speed trains on Java Island," he said.
Currently, continued Arif, currently the railway line has been built along 7,000 km. This means that there are still around 3,000 km of homework (PR) until 2030.
"Currently, about 7,000 km have been built. So, our homework, until 2030 is still long, there are still about 3,000 kilometers to build," he explained.
Arif said the budget requirement of Rp853 trillion would not be fully borne by the allocation of the state budget (APBN). He said he would encourage a creative financing scheme to meet these needs, especially by cooperating with the private sector.
"Ini memang arahan Presiden tidak atau seminimal mungkin bisa disupport menggunakan APBN. Jadi, dibutuhkan investor dalam hal ini," ucapnya.

Lebih lanjut, Arif bilang, nantinya investasi tersebut juga bakal direalisasikan melalui skema kerja sama pemerintah dan badan usaha (KPBU) hingga investasi murni.
“Pemerintah Indonesia saat ini sangat mendorong agar pembangunan dan pengembangan infrastruktur di bidang transportasi menggunakan skema pendanaan tanpa APBN. Sehingga kebutuhan skema pembiayaan non-APBN atau creative financing ini misalnya bisa memakai investasi murni, konsesi dan sebagainya. Kemudian KPBU,” ucapnya.
