In March, the Indonesian national operator KAI signed an IDR 2.5 trn ($161.6 mln) contract with PT Inka for the refurbishment of 623 coaches between 2023 and 2026. An additional IDR 4 trn ($258.6 mln) contract was signed with regional operator KCI for the delivery of 16 12-car EMUs.

For the orders, PT Inka launched its second plant in Banyuwangi after investing IDR 1.6 trn ($103.4 mln). The plant was conceived as a joint venture with Stadler, but the Swiss manufacturer is not mentioned anywhere now.
