The contract was secured with PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC), the Consortium between PT Pilar Sinergi BUMN Indonesia and China Railway International.

The Jakarta – Bandung High Speed Rail project will include integration of the HSR stations with developments along its corridor through TODs.
