Citramas Group breaks ground on Rp600 billion water facility in Batam

Citramas Group has commenced construction on a Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) facility in the Kabil Industrial Estate, Batam. The project represents an investment of approximately USD 32.8 million, or 600 billion Indonesian Rupiah.

The development will be executed in two stages to ensure a steady industrial water supply. The first phase has a production capacity of 300 liters per second, with a second phase planned to add 400 liters per second, bringing the total capacity to 700 liters per second. The first phase is targeted to become operational by November 2027.

BP Batam Head Amsakar Achmad stated that the facility is a strategic step to secure water supplies for data centers and integrated industrial zones. Currently, the Kabil Industrial Estate and Nongsa Digital Park rely on a local reservoir with a capacity of 60.2 liters per second. To prevent industrial water crises, Citramas Group is also accelerating the construction of a new rainwater catchment reservoir in the Nongsa Digital Park area.
