Hutama Karya to Offer Toll Discounts for 2025 Nataru Period

State-Owned Enterprise Aims to Ease Travel Expenses

PT Hutama Karya (Persero), the state-owned toll road operator, is set to implement toll rate discounts during the upcoming 2025 Christmas and 2026 New Year (Nataru) period. According to Mardiansyah, Executive Vice President and Corporate Secretary of Hutama Karya, the decision is part of the company's commitment to providing benefits to the public, particularly during peak travel seasons.

Rationale Behind the Discount

Mardiansyah explained that during holidays like Nataru and Eid al-Fitr, travel volumes surge significantly, accompanied by increased expenditure by travelers. The planned discount is intended to help offset these higher expenses, thereby supporting economic activity during this period. The exact discount rate and implementation details are expected to be announced officially by the company soon.

Significance for Travelers and Economy

The move is likely to be welcomed by frequent travelers and those planning to visit family during the holiday season. By reducing toll costs, Hutama Karya aims to stimulate travel and support local economic activities along the toll routes. This initiative aligns with the company's role as a state-owned enterprise committed to balancing business operations with social responsibility.
