Indonesia is strengthening its position in the electric vehicle (EV) industry with major investments flowing into the Kendal Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Central Java. The area is becoming a key hub for EV manufacturing and renewable energy, attracting global players like PT Indonesia BTR New Energy Material, PT LBM Energi Baru Indonesia, PT Sunra Asia Pasific Hi-Tech, and PT Trina Mas Agra Indonesia. These companies contribute to Indonesia’s EV supply chain by producing lithium battery components, two-wheeled electric vehicles, and solar panels, supporting the country’s transition to clean energy.
The presence of these factories is boosting the local and national economy, creating jobs, and reinforcing Indonesia’s role in the global EV market. Executive Director of KEK Kendal, Juliani Kusumaningrum, emphasized the zone’s commitment to providing a favorable investment climate through fiscal incentives and integrated infrastructure. With this support, Kendal SEZ aims to be a catalyst for high-tech and eco-friendly industries, aligning with the government's vision to position Indonesia as a key player in the global EV and renewable energy sectors.
