RINA and PT LRT Jakarta sign MoU to explore cooperation

JAKARTA, INDONESIA, September 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RINA, the multinational inspection, certification and consulting engineering group, and PT LRT Jakarta, the transport operator managing Jakarta Light Rail Transit (LRT) system, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore potential cooperation in consultancy services and business development related to Jakarta’s light rail system.

The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation between the two parties, aimed at assessing opportunities across several areas. These include planning, construction supervision, testing and commissioning, technical assistance, operational training, railway infrastructure maintenance, as well as identifying opportunities to enhance commercial operations within the LRT Jakarta network.

PT LRT Jakarta is the operator of the Light Rail Transit system serving Indonesia’s capital region, where it plays a role in improving urban mobility and supporting the development of integrated public transport. Jakarta is the world’s most populous city, with nearly 42 million residents and faces growing demand for efficient and sustainable mobility solutions. As public transport use continues to expand, rail-based systems are expected to play an increasingly important role in easing congestion and strengthening connectivity between key urban centres. RINA provides engineering consultancy services, drawing on expertise in infrastructure and mobility developed through major projects worldwide.

Enrico Beccaceci, Asia Engineering Executive Commercial Management Director at RINA, said: “This agreement creates a framework to assess how our technical expertise can support the development and operation of urban rail systems in Jakarta. We look forward to working with PT LRT Jakarta to explore solutions across the lifecycle of infrastructure, from design and construction through to operation and maintenance.”

Aditia Kesuma Negara, President Director of PT LRT Jakarta, commented: “The collaboration with RINA provides an opportunity to evaluate potential improvements to our infrastructure and operations, as well as to support the ongoing development of Jakarta’s public transport network. We see this as a step towards strengthening the role of LRT Jakarta within the city’s integrated mobility system.”

The MoU reflects a shared interest in supporting the development and optimisation of urban rail infrastructure in Jakarta, contributing to more efficient, reliable and sustainable mobility systems.
