Jakarta. State-owned fertilizer holding Pupuk Indonesia and its member companies have sent a total of 1,559 homebound travelers to their hometowns under the Free Homecoming Travel with SOEs 2026 program, themed “Mudik Nyaman Bersama Pupuk Indonesia.” Departures took place on March 17–18, 2026, from Jakarta and several other regions across Indonesia.
