Menperin Sebut Apple Akan Bikin Pabrik di Indonesia, Investasi Rp 15 Triliun

Apple Eyes Billion-dollar Investment in indonesia, Paving Way for iPhone 16

Indonesia could soon⁢ be home to a new Apple factory,‍ as the tech giant ‍reportedly considers a massive ⁣$1 billion investment in⁣ the country. This move comes amidst ongoing negotiations to bring the highly anticipated iPhone⁢ 16 series to Indonesian consumers.

Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita revealed the potential investment during the Industrial Fest 2024 in Surabaya,Java. “Regarding the ⁤iPhone, God willing, they will take the first scheme, which is investing in production facilities,” Kartasasmita stated.

This notable investment follows Apple’s initial offer of $10 million, which was rejected by the Indonesian government due to the iPhone 16 series not meeting the required local content requirements (TKDN) at the time.

Under Indonesian regulations, companies can achieve TKDN through three main avenues: manufacturing products domestically, establishing local production facilities, or developing innovative technologies within the country.

Apple’s proposed investment would⁤ involve a partnership with a company already operating a factory in ⁢Bandung, producing accessories and components for Apple products.

While the⁤ initial $10 million offer was rejected, Apple subsequently increased its proposal to $100 million in late November.‍ However, this⁣ revised offer was also deemed insufficient by ⁣the Indonesian government, which‍ sought a more equitable deal for the country.

Now, Indonesia is pushing for a commitment from⁤ apple worth a staggering $1 billion, possibly paving the way for ⁣the iPhone 16 series to finally hit Indonesian shelves.

“hopefully, within a week, I will receive their commitment because ⁢we have been proactively engaging with them,” Roeslani said.

Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita expressed hope that the investment would materialize through the establishment of a production facility in Indonesia.”If the deal goes through, we want Apple’s $1 billion investment to be realized through a production facility investment scheme, meaning they would‍ build⁢ a factory hear,” Kartasasmita stated.

While details remain under wraps, Apple ⁢is reportedly leaning towards investing in production facilities. These facilities could encompass a range of elements crucial to the manufacturing process, including machinery, equipment, material flow systems, and workforce infrastructure.

The precise nature of the facilities and the specific location within⁢ Indonesia are ⁤still being coordinated.
