Indonesia’s electric vehicle (EV) industry is accelerating toward a cleaner and more integrated future, with the launch of a major EV battery project marking a key milestone in its supply chain development. Valued at nearly $6 billion, this project includes operations ranging from nickel mining to battery manufacturing and recycling, reinforcing Indonesia’s ambition to become a key player in the global EV ecosystem.
As the world’s top producer of nickel—a core component of EV batteries—Indonesia is uniquely positioned to lead in sustainable mobility. The recent groundbreaking of the EV battery megaproject, attended by national leaders, is expected to generate 35,000 jobs and contribute approximately $42 billion annually to the country’s GDP. Additionally, the project is poised to reduce fuel imports by about 300,000 kiloliters each year, marking a significant stride in energy efficiency and trade balance.
The government’s proactive promotion of the nickel and EV industries is closely tied to its net-zero emission goals by 2060. Experts emphasize that beyond the energy transition, this shift opens doors for clean technologies, greener infrastructure, and inclusive industrial growth.
Collaborations with experienced international partners have been crucial to enhancing local capacity, technology transfer, and workforce development. As Indonesia continues to develop its downstream capabilities and local manufacturing, strategic partnerships remain essential for knowledge-sharing and sustainable industrialization.
Today, the country hosts multiple facilities for electric cars, buses, and two- to three-wheeled vehicles. With growing support from global stakeholders, Indonesia is transforming into a regional hub for EV supply chains, poised to lead in green innovation and trade resilience.
