Indonesia’s ambitious Trans Sumatra toll road project is set to receive a significant boost with the support of Abu Dhabi’s ADIA (Abu Dhabi Investment Authority) and the Netherlands-based APG Asset Management. The two global investment giants have signed agreements with Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund, the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA), targeting key sections of the extensive toll road network spanning Sumatra, one of Indonesia’s most populous islands.

As Indonesia seeks to modernize its transportation infrastructure, the collaborative investment is aimed at reducing logistical costs, accelerating regional development, and strengthening the country’s investment appeal to both local and international stakeholders. INA, founded in 2021, has adopted a partnership-driven approach, drawing interest from heavyweight investors worldwide. This toll road initiative exemplifies INA’s broader strategy of pooling funds to expand infrastructure and is seen as part of Indonesia’s vision to position itself as a major player in the region’s economic landscape.

The $2.72 billion funding commitment for the Trans Sumatra project will support the expansion of nearly 3,000 kilometers of toll roads. In a region where economic growth is largely reliant on logistics and mobility, the initiative is designed to enable more efficient transportation of goods and services across Sumatra’s economically diverse regions. It is expected to cut transit times substantially, which is anticipated to reduce costs across industries, benefiting both large and small enterprises reliant on timely logistics.
