Indonesia to Launch Six Downstream Projects Including Bauxite in February 2026
Investment Minister Rosan Roeslani announced that six downstream projects will commence groundbreaking in February 2026, including a $3 billion bauxite alumina project in Mempawah, West Kalimantan. A total of 18 downstream projects are targeted to start this year.
The Investment Project Ready to Offer (IPRO) platform is designed to enhance investment distribution across regions, supported by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). Local governments are preparing necessary arrangements for mineral downstreaming.
Roeslani emphasized the importance of local government and community involvement, including commitments from investors to support local SMEs and the disabled. Downstream investment is projected to reach IDR 584.13 trillion in 2025, contributing 30.2% to Indonesia's total investment of IDR 1,931.2 trillion, with significant job creation potential.
