Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Industry Ministry has confirmed that forthcoming government incentives for electric vehicles (EVs) will strictly target high-value-added products that support the national electric car and motorcycle development programs.Speaking to reporters in Jakarta on Thursday, Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita stated that the government seeks to ensure the incentive policy builds a robust domestic industrial ecosystem.”The focus of EV incentive recipients, whether four-wheeled vehicles or motorcycles, will certainly be on products that create high added value in Indonesia,” Agus said.”This means strong structural development, but equally important is the national car or electric motorcycle program,” he added.The Industry Ministry is preparing the necessary technical regulations to support the policy framework being drawn up by the Finance Ministry.Agus noted that while details regarding local content requirements (TKDN) are still being finalized, his ministry stands ready to enforce whatever criteria are established in the forthcoming Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK).“We will support whatever concept is prepared by the Finance Ministry. As a technical ministry, we will prepare the technical aspects based on what is stipulated in the regulation,” he added.The policy alignment follows a statement by Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, who revealed earlier that President Prabowo Subianto is set to announce a major EV stimulus package within the next two to three weeks.The package is expected to cover approximately 500,000 electric motorcycles and cars.The fiscal stimulus under consideration includes a 100 percent exemption from the luxury goods sales tax (PPnBM) alongside a 40 percent government-borne value added tax (PPN DTP) incentive for eligible models.However, Purbaya indicated that the tax relief will be restricted exclusively to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), excluding hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models.Battery chemistry standards—specifically comparing nickel-based and lithium-based units—are also under consideration.The EV acceleration initiative forms part of the 2027 Macroeconomic Framework and Fiscal Policy Principles (KEM-PPKF), which classifies national car and motorcycle development as a National Priority Work Program (PKPN) under Indonesia's industrial downstreaming roadmap.
