Palembang-Indralaya Toll Road Tariffs Increase as of March 18, 2024: Details Inside

Toll road fares for the Palembang-Indralaya toll road increased as of today, Monday (March 18, 2024), starting at 12:00 WIB.

This increase is stipulated in the Decree of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Number 414/KPTS/M/2024 concerning the Adjustment of Toll Road Tariffs for Palembang-Indralaya.

A similar increase also occurred on the Pekanbaru-Dumai toll road section, as stated in PUPR Ministerial Decree Number 415/KPTS/M/2024.

PT Hutama Karya (Persero), as the contractor, stated that the last adjustment to the Palembang-Indralaya toll road prices was in 2021.

Meanwhile, the Pekanbaru-Dumai toll road fares have not increased since it first operated in October 2020. They argued that the tariff adjustment should have been implemented in 2022.

The delay was due to the 2022 recovery period following the Covid-19 pandemic and the increase in fuel prices in October 2023.

Furthermore, in 2023, there was an increase in the price of basic necessities such as rice, leading Hutama Karya to reconsider and postpone the adjustment of the Pekanbaru-Dumai toll road tariffs to avoid burdening the public.

"Seeing that the economy has now recovered, we need to adjust the tariffs this year," said Executive Vice President (EVP) Corporate Secretary of Hutama Karya, Tjahjo Purnomo, in a written statement on the Hutama Karya website, quoted on Monday (March 18, 2024).

Hutama Karya ensures that the tariff adjustments on all toll road sections have been accompanied by the fulfillment and improvement of Minimum Service Standards (SPM), namely routine maintenance and improvements in transaction and operational services.

Currently, the Palembang-Indralaya Toll Road is equipped with 25 toll booths located at 4 Toll Gates (GT), namely GT Palembang, GT Pemulutan, GT KTM Rambutan & GT Indralaya. There are also 13 standby vehicles consisting of ambulances, rescue vehicles, tow trucks, toll road services, and Highway Patrol (PJR), 42 CCTV cameras with two-way monitoring 24 hours a day in the control room, 8 Variable Message Signs (VMS), and 2 mini rest areas with facilities such as toilets, prayer rooms, and honesty canteens.

This toll road section is also routinely maintained and beautified, including repainting road markings and barriers, adding local wisdom ornaments, beautifying road barriers and pedestrian overpasses, and routinely planting trees along the toll road.

"We carry out this routine maintenance to provide the best service to toll road users," said Tjahjo.

The Expert Staff of the PUPR Minister for Technology, Industry & Environment, Endra S. Atmawidjaja, also stated that before the issuance of this tariff adjustment decree, a feasibility test of service improvement and fulfillment of SPM to the Toll Road Business Entity (BUJT) had been carried out beforehand.

"Not all BUJTs that apply for tariff adjustments immediately receive a ministerial decree; a series of tests are carried out beforehand," said Endra.
