Danantara Lines Up $6 Billion in Projects Across Metals, Biofuel, and Agriculture
Jakarta. Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund Danantara has unveiled plans to roll out a series of priority strategic projects with a total investment of $6 billion, with initial launches scheduled for February 2026.
The projects span several key sectors, including bauxite and aluminum processing, sustainable aviation fuel development, oil refining, and poultry farming, Danantara Chief Executive Officer Rosan Roeslani said on Wednesday.
Rosan said the investment pipeline is expected to make a significant contribution to Indonesia’s economic growth by strengthening downstream industries and increasing domestic value creation.
“The projects include bauxite and aluminum processing in Balikpapan, bioavtur, refinery projects, and poultry farming operations in five locations,” Rosan said. Bioavtur is the government’s term for aviation fuel blended with plant-based oils.
Beyond these sectors, Rosan signaled that gasification projects producing dimethyl ether (DME) from coal could also move forward, although further studies are still needed to determine the most suitable technology for implementation.
According to Rosan, the strategic projects are designed to enhance the value added of Indonesia’s natural resources, generate large-scale employment, and reinforce the country’s industrial base.
“Five downstream project sites are being prepared to enter the groundbreaking phase early next month, with a total investment of around $6 billion as the foundation for strengthening national industrial value creation,” he said.
