The hub, strategically positioned in East Java, offers access to the region’s deepest ports (-16 LWS) and direct toll access to international airports. Making the domestic and international transport of goods cost-efficient, especially across archipelagic Eastern Indonesia.
JIIPE’s SEZ designation allows local and international companies to benefit from a wide array of fiscal and regulatory exemptions and facilitations. The estate’s Direct Construction Service (KLIK) provides investors one-window facility to support them to start construction and manufacturing immediately
These comprehensive investment incentives have proven an encouraging draw to major companies. To date, JIIPE has achieved investment of $3.5 billion from 16 tenants, including PTFI.
