N
usantara Capital Authority (IKN) head Basuki Hadimuljono stressed that the government remains committed to continuing the construction of the new capital, asserting there would be no halt to the process.
In an official statement on Sunday, he outlined that the central phase of development, dubbed KIPP 1A, which includes the construction of the State Palace as well as the judicial and legislative complexes, is slated for completion in 2028.
“The Palace has announced that there will be no moratorium, and that construction of the [new capital city Nusantara] will instead be accelerated. President Prabowo [Subianto] has ordered the completion of the judicial and legislative branches within three years. [Nusantara] is a national priority project mandated by law and already has an allocated budget,” Basuki said.
Meanwhile, construction of road infrastructure in KIPP 1B has also begun, driven by growing private investment. Supporting infrastructure is also a key focus during this phase.
“The influx of investment has allowed us to accelerate development in other zones,” he added.
Basuki previously stated that all preparatory work for the second phase of Nusantara development, including budgeting, had been completed.
This second phase, which will begin with a tender process this month, is set to focus on constructing the legislative and judicial zones along with their supporting infrastructure.
