Indonesian Minister for State Enterprises Rini Soemarno said state-owned PT Industri Kereta Api (INKA) will start construction of a rolling stock factory in Banyuwangi, East Java, by the end of this year.

The minister recently said in Jakarta that INKA has received growing orders both for domestic use and exports. Therefore, preparation for the construction of a new factory in Banyuwangi is speeding up. PT INKA is a state-owned railway manufacturing company based in Madiun, East Java, producing passenger trains and freight cars.

Rini said, the groundbreaking will take place before the end of 2018. She emphasized that Banyuwangi was chosen as the place for the new factory for the strategic location of the coastal district, which is growing rapidly over the past several years.//Antara 08.04.2018 Rezha
