Jakpro Courts Global Rail Suppliers in Korea Ahead of LRT Jakarta Phase 1C
The developer's procurement chief joined a Korea briefing, flagging data- and AI-based maintenance interest and indicative needs for Phase 1C station and inspection systems.
Jakarta infrastructure group Jakpro took part in the 2026 International Railway Procurement Briefing and 1:1 business meetings in South Korea on 5 November, with its procurement vice president speaking on railway procurement procedures and opportunities, state news agency ANTARA reported. In one-on-one meetings, the company explored suppliers' project experience, certification, OEM support, interoperability, delivery times, local service, training, maintenance, spare parts and total cost of ownership.
Jakpro said the needs of LRT Jakarta Phase 1C (Manggarai–Dukuh Atas) — railway systems, rolling stock, station systems, and inspection and maintenance equipment — remain indicative, subject to studies, approvals, funding readiness and formal procurement. The event also gave access to Korea's ecosystem in urban rail, signaling, electrification, automation, testing and certification, safety and low-carbon technology, with data- and AI-based infrastructure maintenance explicitly among the categories of interest. The outreach signals that the procurement pipeline for the city's rail expansion is being shaped now, ahead of formal tenders.
