JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI revealed the latest developments related to the plan to import a former electric train (KRL) from Japan. The procurement of this import will be carried out by PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI).

KAI President Director Didiek Hartantyo said the KCI and the Financial and Supervision Supervisory Agency (BPKP) had visited Japan. This visit was made to review the import plan and see the condition of the used KRL to be purchased.

A review has been carried out to Japan by the BPKP and KCI Teams dated a week ago. The BPKP team has met with JR East by looking at the trains that will be imported themselves, they are still operating today," he said in a meeting with Commission VI of the DPR, Monday, March 27.

Later, the results of the visit will be used as a reference for BPKP to provide recommendations to the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment regarding the KRL import decision.

However, continued Didiek, the import plan could not be implemented. This is because his party is still waiting for a review from BPKP to be completed.

"Currently we, PT KCI and KAI, are waiting for the results of the review from BPKP," he explained.

For your information, PT KCI plans to import capital goods in a non-new state (BMTB) in the form of 120 units of KRL type E217 for 2023 needs.

Meanwhile, for 2024, KCI plans to import 228 units of KRL type E217 with a tariff post/HS Code 8603.10.00.
