The government has announced plans to merge seven state-owned infrastructure enterprises into three entities.
The companies are PT Hutama Karya, PT Waskita, PT PP, PT Wijaya Karya, PT Brantas Abipraya, PT Adhi Karya and PT Nindya Karya.
State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) Minister Erick Thohir said on Tuesday that the merger of the seven companies was aimed at improving the governance of state-owned construction firms.
The ministry has categorized the companies based on their core tasks. Brantas Abipraya, Adhi Karya and Nindya Karya would merge and focus on water infrastructure as well as railway construction, Erick said, as reported by news agency Antara.
Furthermore, the minister said Hutama Karya and Waskita would focus on highway projects, institutional buildings and commercial residential development.
