KBLI 19211: Petroleum Refining and Processing Industr… · Open to PMA

§ 01

Foreign investment rules

Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.

Status · open

Fully open to foreign investment

KBLI 19211 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules. A foreign investor may incorporate a PT PMA with up to 100% foreign ownership and operate in this activity directly.

This KBLI is not listed in any restricted, closed, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedule under Pres. Reg. 10/2021 (as amended). A 100% foreign-owned PT PMA may operate in this activity, subject to the licensing requirements shown below. BKPM's default minimum capital is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up with IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI realised over time, but sector regulators (OJK, ESDM, BPOM, Kominfo, etc.) can set higher minimums for specific activities — we confirm the actual figure before incorporation.

Tax incentives

Foreign-investor tax benefits available for this KBLI under PMK 130/2020 (Tax Holiday) and PP 78/2019 (Tax Allowance). Both require approval — see the linked guide for the application path.

Eligible for Tax Holiday

100% corporate income tax exemption for 5-20 years, plus 2 additional years at 50%. Tier scales with capex (IDR 100b minimum). Pioneer industry: Oil & gas refining.

Licensing requirements in detail

Specific permits, application requirements and ongoing obligations vary by business scale and the sub-activity within this KBLI. We file these on your behalf — this section is for transparency on what we'll be handling. Switch between scales below; by default we show Large (the PMA scale).

What's required to operate

NIB

Preparation only — additional permit needed below

Operating License (Izin)

Important: NIB is issued for the preparation stage. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after a substantive review of the operator's capability, facility, and compliance. Operating with NIB alone exposes the entity to penalties, blacklisting, and contract invalidation.

What licenses does KBLI 19211 require?

NIB + Operating Licence (Izin). KBLI 19211 is High risk at Large scale, so the Operating Licence requires substantive sector-regulator approval before the business can operate.
