Riau Islands regional administration and safety developments

Overview

In the Riau Islands, regional authorities and national ministers have addressed distinct administrative and safety concerns.

In August 2026, the Riau Islands Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) warned that 2026 regional tax revenue targets were at risk, with realization falling below 50 percent. DPRD member Rudi Chua attributed the shortfall to a weakening economy and a Ministry of Home Affairs circular requesting that local governments stop collecting Motor Vehicle Tax for electric vehicles.

Concurrently, Indonesia’s Minister of Transportation, Dudy Purwagandhi, issued Instruction Number IM 3 of 2026 to enhance transportation safety across land, sea, and air sectors in the province. The directive mandates random inspections of vehicle and vessel seaworthiness, strict supervision of operator compliance, and regular infrastructure evaluations to manage the region’s busy maritime and aviation sectors.
