Indonesia Sets New EV Incentive Scheme Prioritizing National Brands
Indonesia's government announced a revised electric‑vehicle (EV) incentive framework that will give priority to cars produced under national brands. Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said the scheme is part of the 2027 macro‑economic and fiscal policy plan and aims to strengthen the domestic automotive sector, reduce reliance on imports and boost local jobs. The policy also mentions the creation of a 412‑hectare industrial zone in Subang, West Java, for national‑brand vehicle development, which is currently in a pre‑feasibility stage.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto confirmed that the upcoming incentive programme will be linked to the development of both national cars and motorcycles, shifting the focus from broad consumer subsidies toward targeted support for strategic local manufacturers. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said incentives will remain in place, and President Prabowo Subianto is expected to launch the national vehicle project in the near term.
