Indonesian Government to Discuss Toll Road Discounts for Nataru Holiday

Coordination with Toll Operators

The Indonesian government, through the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) under the Ministry of Public Works, is scheduled to hold a coordination meeting with toll road operators on November 18, 2025, to discuss potential discounts on toll rates during the Christmas and New Year (Nataru) holiday period ¹

.

Likely Implementation of Discounts

Minister of Public Works, Dody Hanggodo, has expressed confidence that toll road discounts will be implemented during Nataru, maintaining that the practice will be similar to previous years ²

. The decision to offer discounts is aimed at reducing traffic congestion that typically occurs during the holiday season.

Previous Discussions and Challenges

Previous discussions between the government and toll road operators have been intense and challenging, as the discounts potentially reduce the profits of the toll road operating companies (BUJT) ¹

. Despite these challenges, Dody Hanggodo noted that BUJT typically agrees to provide discounts as a form of national service.

Future Plans and Announcements

The final decision and announcement regarding the toll road discounts are expected to be made by the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs. Dody Hanggodo emphasized that the coordination with various stakeholders is ongoing, and an official announcement will be made in due course ²
