The importance of double track became even greater after the accident between the Turangga Train and the Bandung Raya local train on the Cicalengka-Haurpugur KM 181+700 route on January 5 2024.
The total budget required for construction reaches IDR 1.2 trillion and is fully financed by the APBN. Most of the projects use State Sharia Securities (SBSN) funding sources.
“According to the railway sector development master plan, this segment will also be developed in the future, but currently we are still completing construction of the Kiaracondong – Cicalengka segment,” said the Director of Sharia Financing, Directorate General of Financing and Risk Management, Ministry of Finance, Dwi Irianti Hadiningdyah
