Tok! DPR Restui Impor KRL Bekas Jepang

Komisi VI DPR RI approved PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) to import used KRL trainsets from Japan to meet increasing transportation capacity needs in Jabodetabek. The approval was given during a meeting with KAI, with Deputy Chairperson Andre Rosiade stating the import aims to fulfill angkutan needs while supporting local industry. KAI requires 23 additional trainsets: 7 SF12 (12-car formations) and 16 SF8 (8-car formations), adjusted to infrastructure conditions where some stations cannot accommodate longer SF12 trains. Passenger numbers on KRL Jabodetabek increased 11.3% in Semester I-2026, reaching approximately 1.1 million daily passengers, up to 1.3 million. This import serves as a transitional solution while KAI strengthens domestic railway industry.
