Jakarta. Approaching its seventh decade, Astra International is reinforcing its business foundations to sustain long-term growth while expanding its contribution to Indonesia’s development.

The company’s solid performance over the past six years reflects the resilience of its diversified portfolio and its ability to adapt to both global and domestic challenges.

President Director Djony Bunarto Tjondro said Astra’s journey is defined not merely by its longevity, but by its consistency in upholding values and delivering tangible contributions to the nation.

“Sixty-nine years is not just a measure of time, but a story of millions of steps growing and moving together with the nation,” Djony said in a statement on Tuesday.

He stressed that Astra’s core strength lies in its Catur Dharma philosophy — four guiding principles inherited from founder William Soeryadjaya — alongside a strong legacy in human capital development. These values have guided the company through multiple phases of change, including economic crises, technological disruption, the Covid-19 pandemic, and ongoing global geopolitical uncertainty.

Astra operationalizes these principles through a roadmap centered on portfolio development, people, and public contribution, aiming to balance financial performance with long-term sustainability. The company continues to embed these values across all business lines through structured and ongoing internalization efforts.

On the business front, Astra’s net profit more than doubled from Rp 16.2 trillion ($955 million) in 2020 to Rp 32.8 trillion ($1.9 billion) in 2025. Over the same period, the number of business entities under the group expanded from 236 to 321, supported by a workforce of more than 190,000 employees across seven core business segments.

Djony attributed this growth to disciplined diversification, decades of operational experience, consistent product and service quality, and strong ecosystem synergies.

“The group’s ability to remain resilient and continue growing is supported by a diversified business portfolio, extensive operational experience, a commitment to quality, and strong collaboration with partners,” he said.

Selective Expansion Strategy
Astra has also pursued selective expansion into sectors adjacent to its core businesses, including used cars, multi-purpose financing, digital banking, healthcare services, and non-coal minerals. These moves are underpinned by disciplined capital allocation to strengthen future growth engines.

Beyond financial performance, Astra places social contribution as a central pillar of its strategy. Its Desa Sejahtera Astra program focuses on four key areas — health, education, entrepreneurship, and the environment — and has reached more than 1,533 villages across 35 provinces.

The company also runs the Semangat Astra Terpadu untuk Indonesia (SATU) Awards to recognize inspiring young Indonesians, alongside the Nurani Astra initiative, which provides humanitarian assistance during disasters.

Djony reiterated that Astra’s long-term direction remains anchored in its ambition to deliver broad benefits to the nation.

“Continuity gives stability, but values give eternity. Great companies are not built in a year, but across generations that honour their values, sharpen their core, and embrace the future with courage,” he said.
