Investor Daily - KCIC Pastikan Proyek KA Cepat Jadi Ajang Transfer Teknologi 19 October 2021 By Thresa Sandra Desfika Jakarta – PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China KCIC ensures that the construction of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway will become an event for knowledge and technology transfer among human resources in the domestic construction sector. “Since the start of the construction, this high-speed railway project has brought over many new technology and methods in the construction sector. This will automatically provide experiences and lessons for future construction planning and implementation in Indonesia,” PT KCIC President Director, Dwiyana Slamet Riyadi, said in his official statement in Jakarta on Monday 18/10. He explained that the technology and knowledge transfer from China to Indonesia through the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway project included the implementation of the cast in situ method for full-span girders. According to Dwiyana, even though the cast in situ method is a method that has been previously implemented in Indonesia, but the cast in situ method for the full-span girders in this land infrastructure project will be implemented for the first time in Indonesia. Dwiyana also ensured that the cast in situ method for the full-span girders spanning 32 metres was carried out with high quality standard that meets the conditions for high-speed railway structure design. “Cast in situ is an on-site concreting method. The cast in situ method is frequently implemented in Indonesia, but usually it is not implemented all at once. For example, the concreting is usually conducted in stages or segment by segment [not all at once]. In this high-speed railway project, the concreting is implemented all at once for the 32-metre girders. So, this is what separates it from the existing cast in situ method,” he said. In practice, Wijaya Karya WIKA as a local contractor in the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway consortium has developed the project using their experience from previous projects, and they also absorbed construction technologies and methods from Casting Yard 1 DK28 Sinohydro. With experience and knowledge from the Chinese contractor, Wijaya Karya is carrying out the development using the cast in situ method to cast the concrete all at once. Wijaya is responsible to make 137 full-span box girders for Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway. Besides that, according to him, knowledge transfer also occurred in the girder erection process in the casting yard where the precast box girders are made. Even though technology transfer does not occur directly, but, through local workforce involvement, innovative high-speed railway planning and construction can be learned. “Innovative work method in the girder erection process of the high-speed railway project will be an example of how public infrastructure construction at busy areas can be carried out without hindering public activities around the area,” Dwiyana said. Next, technology transfer also occurs in the construction of slab tracks, which are plates for the railway tracks that distribute weight from the top. The slab tracks used in this high-speed railway project are different from slab tracks used by other trains. In this project, the slab tracks do not need ballast stones along the railway tracks and require minimal maintenance. Similar to the cast in situ method, the slab tracks are constructed by involving Indonesian human resources from WIKA who have received direction and training from human resources from China from PT Sinohydro. The slab track construction is fully conducted by human resources from WIKA, where the process is conducted at the Slab Track Prefabrication Workshop in Dawuan, Purwakarta. WIKA Beton will produce 13,315 slab track units in one year from the middle of 2021 to the middle 2022. Dwiyana believes that technology and knowledge transfer during the construction of the high-speed railway can improve the capability and the experience of human resources in Indonesia in the construction sector. For the high-speed railway construction, WIKA is establishing a technology transfer team from Sinohydro, especially for tunnel and box girder construction, which will be directly involved in tunnel 1 and casting yard 1 construction. SOPs and regulations Regarding the tunnel construction, China Railway Group Limited CREC will create a guideline for the tunnel construction as part of the technology transfer to Indonesia. Simultaneously, regarding standard operational procedures SOPs and regulations regarding the high-speed railway, High-Speed Railway Contractor Consortium HSRCC and China Railway are finalising the documents that will be handed over to KCIC in October 2021. He stated that 625 SOPs, regulations, and training materials would be handed over to be used as references to create SOPs, transportation minister regulations, as well as training materials for high-speed railway workforce. “Workers from China are continuously sharing their experience and knowledge from this high-speed railway to various parties, such as professional associations and universities. Moreover, members of KAI, WIKA, and the Railway Directorate General also have opportunities to participate in field trainings at several high-speed railway project locations,” Dwiyana said. Meanwhile, the loan from China through China Development Bank CDB for Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway is 58% disbursed, or US$ billion. Moreover, the total loan from China Development Bank reaches US$ billion. “The total loan from China contributes to 75% of the funding for Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway,” PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China KCIC Corporate Secretary, Mirza Soraya, said to Investor Daily recently. Mirza explained that, for the current high-speed railway project, his company was currently focusing on completing tunnel construction three out of ten tunnels penetrated, elevated tracks, and subgrade preparation.

Ltd, CREC, Sinohydro Corporation Limited, China Railway Design Corporation another subsidiary of CR, CRRC Sifang Co. Ltd a subsidiary of CRRC, and Financiers China Development BankCost billion USD estimate as of 2021, from an initial estimate of billion USDProject Status Under construction Project Outline The idea of a fast train project in Indonesia dates back to 2011, when the Japanese International Cooperation Agency JICA together with the Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning Bappenas carried out a feasibility study for a possible Jakarta–Surabaya HSR, the first phase of which would connect Jakarta to Bandung. The Jakarta–Surabaya medium–high-speed railway was listed as a priority project in 2013. The original plan did not explicitly mention the Jakarta–Bandung HSR, but it suggested the Jakarta–Cirebon route via Bandung section would be prioritised in part due to its higher economic internal rate of return. However, when President Joko Widodo Jokowi came to power in 2014, he shelved the plan to build the railway and reallocated the budget to development projects outside Java. Much to the surprise of everyone, not least the Japanese, in March 2015, Jokowi asked both Japan and China to bid for the Jakarta–Bandung section of the railway. In September 2015, both countries presented their proposals, which were relatively balanced. The Japanese proposed five stations along a 140-kilometre track that is part of the Jakarta–Cirebon route, while the Chinese side planned eight stations along a 150-kilometre track. Though China had a higher interest rate of 2% compared with Japan’s China offered a longer maturity period for the loan 50 years as opposed to 40 years, a shorter time frame for completion of the project, and waived the state guarantee. After a fierce bidding war between China and Japan over the project, which China won, Indonesian Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Rini Soemarno was given a mandate to determine the fate of the railway, including the establishment of the joint-venture company to lead the project. In September 2015, a state-owned fast train consortium was formed, named PT Indonesia China Fast Train or Kereta Cepat Indonesia China, KCIC. KCIC is a consortium of Indonesian and Chinese SOEs. Indonesia is represented by PT Pilar Sinergi BUMN Indonesia PSBI, a consortium of four SOEs—namely, PT Wijaya Karya 38%, active in construction, PT Jasa Marga 12%, toll road builder, PT Kereta Api Indonesia 25%, railways, and PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII 25%, plantations. Meanwhile, the Chinese side is represented by a consortium led by Beijing Yawan HSR Co. Ltd, which comprises China Railway International Co. Ltd, CREC, Sinohydro Corporation Limited a subsidiary of Power Construction Corporation of China, China Railway Design Corporation, CRRC Corporation Limited, and China Railway Signal & Communication Corporation. The initial deal included debt financing from the China Development Bank CDB—for 75% of the total billion USD cost—which was granted with a 10-year grace period and a 2% interest rate for the dollar-denominated loan. The remaining 25% of the project’s cost will be funded by equity provided by KCIC. After the establishment of KCIC, the railway route was revised. The train was expected to reduce the 142-kilometre trip between Jakarta and Bandung from three hours to less than 40 minutes, with a maximum speed of 350 km/h. Four main stations are planned along the route Halim East Jakarta, Karawang West Java, Walini West Java, and Tegalluar West Java. Project Developer Project Contractor Soon after the establishment of KCIC, the ground-breaking ceremony for the Jakarta–Bandung HSR was held in Walini, West Java Province, in the presence of President Jokowi, on 21 January 2016. However, the project was already embroiled in controversy, with critics expressing concerns over the risk of default and the irregularities in the concession of the building permit. Then Transport Minister Ignasius Jonan did not attend the ceremony, and instead became one of the staunchest critics of the project. On 26 January, Jonan revealed that he had not issued the railway infrastructure operation permit as his ministry was still waiting for the required documents and negotiating basic terms for the concession agreement with KCIC. Despite the lack of permits and support from key ministries and lawmakers, in late January 2016, Jokowi issued a regulation containing a list of about 200 strategic projects including the HSR, signalling the strong backing of and attention from his office for this project. Many pundits believe that by backing the project, Jokowi was attempting to build his political legitimacy, with the project connecting the two largest metropolitan areas and located in the most populated province in Indonesia, cementing Jokowi’s claim to be the country’s Infrastructure Father’. From this point of view, China’s initial commitment to complete the project before 2019 was critical to Jokowi’s government as it provided the president with political capital for his campaign for re-election that year. After several delays, including a stoppage owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, construction of the railway fell way behind schedule. As of December 2020, the project was said to be 64% complete. In April 2021, Indonesian media quoted senior management at KCIC as saying the project would be operational by the end of 2022. In May 2021, President Jokowi inspected the project during his visit to West Java Province and announced the project was 73% complete, with trial runs expected to commence at the end of 2022. Source Drawn by the author. Project Impacts Land The delay in loan disbursement was one of the main factors that impeded construction of the HSR from 2016 to 2018, due to inadequate preparation in the land acquisition According to local nongovernmental organisation NGO Indonesian Forum for the Environment Walhi, project construction has caused flooded roads, landslides, and damaged houses in part due to shoddy management and poor environmental protection procedures. As the planned route of the railway cuts through important water catchment areas, mountainous regions, and agricultural areas, the project has also impacted water supplies and caused environmental stress to the surrounding impact Due to poor preparation and multiple technical challenges, the project has incurred cost overruns. In 2017, the budget swelled from billion USD to billion USD. Economists and policymakers have questioned the viability of the project, worrying it will drag Indonesia into a debt trap. Employment and labour rights The project was expected to create 39,000 jobs—both casual and permanent—during its three-year construction phase, but no data are available to show whether this promise has been fulfilled. Meanwhile, for its operation, KCIC is set to offer 2,400 local jobs and the recruitment process was under way as of April 2021. The Jakarta–Bandung HSR has led to various concerns regarding the financial sustainability of the KCIC and Indonesian SOEs in general. With Indonesian finance accounting for a major share of total investment in the project 60%, economists and policymakers voiced concerns about whether the country was at high risk of falling into debt distress. This was especially so because the Indonesian SOEs joining the consortium are debt-heavy entities and, before the inception of KCIC, were already struggling to meet their repayment obligations. To develop these major projects, the SOEs are frontloaded with debt and will only get cash flow back years into the future, which is why delays are so costly. Some Members of Parliament called on the government to halt the project amid increased concerns that a bailout would be necessary should KCIC default on its debt. In particular, Prabowo Subianto, a challenger to Jokowi’s presidency during the 2019 general election, built his campaign on the claim that Indonesia’s economic shortfalls were due to Chinese exploitation, and he even staged a protest against the HSR. As part of the campaign, Prabowo’s team promised to renegotiate—if not cancel—the project, claiming that Indonesia must get a better deal’, given that Chinese investment had eroded national interests. During the COVID-19 pandemic, pundits and the media regularly questioned the project’s sustainability. In June 2020, the Jokowi government began discussions with Japan to join the project and suggested integrating the Chinese-built HSR with a separate Japanese-funded railway project linking Jakarta and Surabaya along a different route. Some in the Indonesian Government argued that only by integrating the two projects could they both become economically viable. However, integration would be difficult as the Japanese-built section uses a different railway gauge and speeds. The restructuring of KCIC management and the appointment of a new chief executive in March 2021 have been interpreted as clear signs of the worsening financial outlook for the company. Adding to this, the following month, Indonesian SOEs also suggested that China take up a larger stake in the project to bear the cost overrun. This remains unresolved and, according to the corporate secretary of KCIC, who was quoted by Reuters in April 2021 Until now, details regarding additional unexpected costs are still being discussed and negotiated at the shareholder level. Also, consultations between the Government of Indonesia and China are continuing.’ According to an interview conducted by the author with one human resources manager, KCIC has employed a majority of local staff in the construction of the project, but top-level management is mostly dominated by Chinese expatriates, despite the fact the Indonesian side has a 60% share in the consortium. KCIC also claimed it has provided vocational training for domestic staff and local engineers to become the first HSR technicians’ in Southeast Asia. While generating more than 2,400 job opportunities, the project has faced multiple problems and technical challenges in its construction phase. In April 2016, vendors tasked by KCIC to carry out land investigations—including five Chinese nationals—were detained by the Indonesian Air Force for trespassing at the Halim Perdanakusuma Airport. In October 2019, a construction mishap caused Indonesia’s state-owned Pertamina oil pipeline to erupt in flames. In January 2020, the breach of an embankment allegedly caused by KCIC led to flooding in the West Bandung Regency. In March 2020, flooding caused by improper landfill and waste dumping blocked the Jakarta–Cikampek toll road, which is one of the busiest routes in the greater Jakarta region. These incidents have sparked public suspicion about the quality of the project’s technical assessment, given the environmental impact assessment AMDAL was completed in just seven days before the ground-breaking ceremony, according to NGO Walhi, which has been questioning the AMDAL submitted by KCIC since early 2016. Following the recent construction mishaps and environmental degradation caused by the project, Walhi staged a series of protests demanding the Indonesian Government and KCIC reassess the project, but they have been met with no response. The project continues without any further information being made public about plans to revisit the AMDAL or actions to minimise the risks. The land acquisition process has been no less problematic. Although KCIC secured a concession for the project in April 2016, progress was slow in the first two years. The inadequate preparation of land acquisition procedures and the involvement of ill-informed Chinese companies that overlooked the complexity of landownership in Indonesia have led to many controversies. There was a tendency on the part of the Chinese companies to assume public ownership of all land, as is the case in China. Moreover, the CDB made funding conditional on Indonesia securing all the land needed for the railway, making the delay even more challenging. Acquisition of land for the project finally reached 99% in late 2019, after the Indonesian Government intervened in the process. In-Depth Sources Belt and Road Podcast. 2021.

Investor Daily - Pemerintah Suntikkan Rp4,3 Triliun ke Proyek KA Cepat Jakarta-Bandung 13 October 2021 By Thresa Desfika, Triyan Pangastuti, Muawwan Daelami, and Arnoldus Kristianus Jakarta – The government is investing trillion in PT Kereta Api Indonesia KAI to cover the lack of funds for the construction of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway that increased by around Rp27 trillion or 31% from the original cost. The investment is provided in the form of an additional state capital participation PMN for PT KAI, one of the four SOEs State-owned Enterprises in PT Pilar Sinergi BUMN Indonesia. The construction of the high-speed railway that spans 142 km is predicted to be finished at the end of 2022, which is 12 months later from the original schedule. Other SOEs in PT Pilar SInergi BUMN Indonesia PSBI are PT Wijaya Karya Persero Tbk, PT Jasa Marga Persero Tbk, and PT Perkebunan Nusantara PTPN VIII. To work on the high-speed railway, PSBI is cooperating with a Chinese company by establishing the KCIC consortium. PSBI’s ownership portion in KCIC reaches 60%, while the Chinese company owns the remaining 40%. When the consortium PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China KCIC was established, KCIC was obligated to provide a capital of around trillion. This is 25% of the estimated cost of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway worth US$ billion or trillion in total. PT Pilar Sinergi BUMN Indonesia that owns 60% of KCIC shares must provide a capital of around trillion, while the Chinese consortium Beijing Yawan that owns 40% of the shares must provide trillion. With 25% provided from their own capital, the remaining 75% or around trillion US$ billion will be provided by a loan from China Development Bank. PT Kereta Api Indonesia Persero or KAI President Director, Didiek Hartantyo, said that, as a follow-up action from Presidential Regulation Number 93/2021 that appointed KAI as the new leader of PSBI, the PMN for KAI was prepared to provide the base equity capital for Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway. Previously, PSBI’s leader was PT Wijaya Karya Pesrero Tbk as they owned 38% of the shares, while KAI owned 25%, PT Jasa Marga Persero owned 25%, and PT Perkebunan Nusantara PTPN VIII owned 12%. The trillion PMN will be used to cover the lack of capital from the SOE consortium, Rp240 billion from WIKA, Rp440 billion from KAI, Rp540 billion from Jasa Marga, and trillion from PTPN. “So, the trillion PMN will be used to provide the base equity capital,” Didiek said when he was contacted by Investor Daily on Monday 11/10. He explained that, to work on the high-speed railway project, PSBI established a joint venture with a Chinese consortium, Beijing Yawan, called PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China. The fund required for the high-speed railway spanning 142 km reaches US$ billion. Special Staff for SOE Minister, Arya Sinulingga, explained that, previously, the funding would be provided from the state budget as the four SOEs involved in the project was impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which hindered the capability of the state-owned companies in financing the cooperation project between Indonesia and China. “This is what forces the government to provide funding so that the high-speed railway can be excellently constructed,” Arya said to an interviewer on Sunday 10/10. In article 4 paragraph 2 of Presidential Regulation Number 93 of 2021, it is mentioned that other funding can be provided from the state budget to maintain the progress of a national strategic project by considering the fiscal capacity and sustainability. Then, paragraph 3 of article 4 states that financing can be provided from the state budget in the form of state capital participation for the SOE consortium leader and/or guarantee for the SOE consortium leader. “Presidential Regulation Number 93/2021 appoints PT KAI as the consortium leader, while the previous leader was PT Wijaya Karya Tbk. So, this is nothing. The issue is only that [the SOEs are impacted by the pandemic]. Wherever you go, in almost all countries, the government is involved in their high-speed railway project. Almost all countries are like that,” Arya said. He added that the construction progress of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway project had reached 80%. With funding from the government later, Arya continued that the project completion was expected to be accelerated. Cost overrun On a separate occasion, SOE Deputy Minister, Kartika Wirjoatmodj, revealed that, previously, there were several issues regarding Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway. First, regarding the initial capital. According to him, PT PTPN VIII’s plan to provide additional capital in the form of lands in Walini in West Java was rejected by the consortium. “PTPN VIII was planning to increase the capital in the form of lands in Walini. In its development, the consortium KCIC does not receive contribution in the form of lands, only cash. PTPN VIII does not have the capability to provide cash of that amount,” Kartika Warjoatmodjo, familiarly called Tiko, said. Besides that, he continued that Jasa Marga was also planning to provide capital in the form of a right of way ROW on their toll roads. However, a ROW turns out can only be provided by the State Asset Directorate General of the Finance Ministry. “This misunderstanding on ROW is due to a lack of legal study at the early stage. Furthermore, capital from WIKA and KAI are also still lacking,” he said. To cover the lack of capital, Tiko continued that KAI was proposed to receive a state capital participation of trillion this year. The fund will be included in the 2021 additional PMN. “We expect that the culmination [of the lack of the capital from Jasa Marga and PTPN VIII] and the lack of the additional capital from WIKA and KAI can be provided by the PMN. The PMN through KAI that will be used to smooth out [the construction of] Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway is required as the companies are under pressure from the Covid-19 pandemic,” Tiko stated. Furthermore, Tiko said that the second issue regarding the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway project was the cost overrun. In Tiko’s presentation during the working meeting with House of Representatives DPR Commission VI, it was shown that the cost overrun of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway was estimated to reach around US$ billion to US$ billion. “We are currently having a discussion on the cost overrun. I think that it will not be provided in this year’s [PMN], but next year’s,” Tiko revealed previously. Then, he revealed that the third issue was the cash deficit. According to Tiko, discussions with China are still held to handle the negative operational cash flow, which will occur at the start of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway’s operation. “We are thinking of a scheme with financing from a bank, which is CDB China Development Bank,” Tiko said. Special Staff for SOE Minister, Arya Sinulingga, previously explained that another problem was the change of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway’s route to Jakarta-Padalarang-Bandung. This is set in Presidential Regulation Number 93 of 2021. Previously, the route was set to be Jakarta-Walini-Bandung. “Price changes can occur and are normal in a project. Moreover, in a project with a long route such as the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway project that spans 142 km. During construction, the design can change due to geological and geographical conditions that change from the original condition. Do not say that the original plan is wrong. Then, the price of lands can increase in time, which occurs during almost every construction,” he added.

A consortium made up of Siemens Mobility, Orascom Construction and The Arab Contractors has signed a contract with the Egyptian National Authority for Tunnels NAT to design, install and commission a 1,800 kilometre high-speed rail network in Egypt. The contract includes the latest rail infrastructure technology, eight depots and yards and a 15-year maintenance agreement. Consortium Finalises Contract to Build Egypt’s High-Speed Rail System© Siemens Mobility When complete, the new high-speed network will become the world’s sixth-largest. It will connect 60 cities across Egypt, enabling approximately 500 million journeys a year on trains that travel up to 230km an hour. Siemens Mobility’s share of the combined contract is billion euros USD, and includes the initial contract for the first line, which was signed by the two organisations last September. Valued at euros USD, this earlier contract is for a 660km-long line that will connect the port cities of Ain Sokhna on the Red Sea to Marsa Matrouh and Alexandria on the Mediterranean. The 1,100 km-long second line will run between Cairo and Abu Simbel near the Sudan border, while the third and final line will link Luxor with Hurghada by the Red Sea via a 225km-long track. The fully electrified network will cut carbon emissions by 70% when compared to current car or bus transport, moving the country closer to achieving its sustainable mobility goals. Roland Busch, President and Chief Executive Officer CEO of Siemens AG, said“The opportunity to provide Egypt with a modern, safe and affordable transportation system that will transform the everyday for millions of Egyptians, create thousands of local jobs and reduces CO2 emissions in transport, is an honour for us. “Not only will it promote economic growth, it will also enable Egypt to take a leap forward in rail transportation. “With our latest technology in rolling stock, signalling and maintenance services, Egypt will have the sixth largest and most modern high-speed rail network in the world. “In addition, it is the biggest order in the history of Siemens!” As part of this project, Siemens Mobility will deliver 41 Velaro eight-car high-speed trains, 94 Desiro high-capacity four car regional train sets and 41 Vectron freight locomotives.
