KAI Commuter to expand capacity with new CLI-225 trainsets

KAI Commuter is optimizing its operations by utilizing 89 trainsets to facilitate 1,065 daily trips across the Jabodetabek area. To address high passenger mobility, the operator plans to gradually introduce two new CLI-225 type trainsets starting in early December 2026.

According to Director of KAI Commuter Purnomo Sidi, the company has recorded over 303 million urban train users between January and October 2026. The strategic expansion includes a contract with PT INKA for 23 new trainsets to increase passenger capacity. The rollout of the new CLI-225 units is scheduled to continue through 2027, with subsequent trainsets expected to enter service between April and July 2027.
