Indonesia is looking to develop six major infrastructure projects under the PPP model. The country’s Ministry of Public Works and Housing is evaluating the projects at present.

In all the works will cost in excess of US$5.3 billion. The pre-feasibility study is being carried out for the Batam to Bintang Bridge, one of the largest works.

There are five toll roads being considered in the programme. These are the  Semanan to Balaraja link, the South Sentul to West Karawang toll road, the Cikunir flyover to Ulujami, the Semarang Harbour toll road and the Patimban Access Road.
