Hazardous chemicals (B3) require KLHK environmental permits in addition to OSS.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing requires CPOB (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification from BPOM.
Most basic and intermediate chemicals are open to 100% PMA.
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.
KBLI 20112 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.
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.

Emerhub is a corporate-services provider in Indonesia. We do the legal and regulatory legwork for foreign investors so you can focus on the business itself. Here's what the engagement looks like.
We confirm KBLI 20112 is the right primary code for your business, advise on secondary codes you may also need, and finalize the holding structure with you before any filing.
We draft the Articles of Association before a notary, register the entity with the Ministry of Law & Human Rights (Kemenkumham), and obtain the company's tax ID (NPWP). Under BKPM Reg. 5/2025, paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) — the cash actually deposited at incorporation. The IDR 10 billion+ figure many sources still cite is the total investment commitment per KBLI, realised over time via your LKPM reports.
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).
Ammonia Industry; Green Hydrogen Industry; Blue Ammonia Industry; Green Ammonia Industry.
Documents and capabilities you must demonstrate at registration
Compliance and reporting duties throughout operation
The authority that issues the license depends on your situation.
| Authority | Applies when |
|---|---|
| Minister/Head of Agency | All of them |
| Minister/Head of Agency | Foreign Investment |
PB UMKU permits sit on top of the main NIB and Sertifikat Standar — each is issued by a different ministry, and only when a specific operational activity is performed. This KBLI carries 3 candidate permits across 3 regulators; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.
Ministry of Industry. Applies to specific manufacturing activities — basic chemicals, optical/magnetic media, regulated industrial materials — that need a Ministry of Industry compliance certificate beyond the standard NIB.
BPOM (National Agency of Drug & Food Control). Applies to drugs, processed food, traditional medicine, cosmetics, and health supplements — produced, imported, repackaged, or distributed for human consumption. BPOM is the gating regulator; product registration is required before any commercial sale.
Ministry of Agriculture. Applies if you produce, import, distribute, or sell animal medicines, vaccines, or feed; if you breed livestock; or if you operate a veterinary practice. A "veterinary control number" (NKV) is the entry-point permit for animal-product processors.
We file the OSS application with KBLI 20112 as your primary business activity, complete the risk-based assessment, and collect the NIB (Business Identification Number) for you — typically within hours of submission. You don't need to touch the OSS portal.
NIB is issued for the preparation stage. To begin commercial operations, the operator must obtain a Sertifikat Standar that has been verified by the competent ministry. The verification step typically requires a site or document inspection. Operating with NIB alone is not legally compliant. We prepare the application bundle, liaise with the competent ministry, and chase issuance through to the certificate. Statutory turnaround: 7 business days — real-world timing typically runs longer when site inspections or additional clarifications are requested.
Post-launch we run your monthly tax filings, quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Reports), annual general meeting (RUPS), and any sector-specific reporting. You get a single point of contact and a monthly compliance digest — no Indonesian-language paperwork on your desk.
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 20112 (Industri Kimia Dasar Anorganik Gas Industri) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for basic inorganic chemical industry: industrial gases. It sits within Manufacturing Industry under the subgroup Basic Chemical Industry (major group 20) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in basic inorganic chemical industry: industrial gases as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.
Indonesia's BPS published the new KBLI 2025 taxonomy in early 2025. OSS, BKPM and the operating ministries have not yet adopted it — KBLI 2020 remains the active standard for business registration. This is what's coming for this specific code.
KBLI 20112 retains the same code number and scope in the new taxonomy. The activity description, hierarchy, and intended use of the code are preserved.
When OSS adopts KBLI 2025, we'll migrate your existing entity to the appropriate successor code as part of ongoing compliance — no action needed on your end now.
Talk to a specialistIndonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach assigns a separate risk level for each of the four business scales. The licensing instruments required (NIB, Standard Certificate, Operating License) are determined by the risk level. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale, so the rightmost column applies to most foreign investors.
KBLI 20112 (Industri Kimia Dasar Anorganik Gas Industri) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for basic inorganic chemical industry: industrial gases. It sits within the Manufacturing Industry category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).
Yes — KBLI 20112 is fully open to foreign investment. A PT PMA may operate with up to 100% foreign ownership, subject to BKPM Reg. 5/2025 capital requirements (IDR 2.5 billion paid-up + IDR 10 billion+ commitment per KBLI).
KBLI 20112's risk levels per business scale: Micro Medium-High, Small Medium-High, Medium Medium-High, Large Medium-High. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.
NIB + verified Standard Certificate (Sertifikat Standar Terverifikasi). KBLI 20112 is Medium-High risk at Large scale, so NIB is issued first, but the Standard Certificate becomes effective only after the issuing ministry verifies compliance (typically through a document review or site audit). 3 sector-specific PB UMKU permits also apply depending on the exact activity. See the requirements summary at the top of the page.
BKPM Reg. 5/2025 default applies: IDR 2.5 billion paid-up capital at incorporation + IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI registered, realized over time and reported quarterly via LKPM.
PT PMA setup typically takes 4-8 weeks: AHU registration (1-2 weeks), NIB issuance via OSS (immediate to 1 week), bank account opening (2-4 weeks). The licensing cycle for KBLI 20112 specifically takes 7 days at the Large business scale.
Yes — KBLI 20112 is on the Tax Holiday pioneer-industry list (PMK 130/2020) under Petrochemicals — downstream. Eligible for 5-20 year corporate income tax exemption depending on capex tier.
Authority depends on the investor profile. For PMA: Minister/Head of Agency. For domestic SME scale: typically Governor (for Provincial scope) or Regent/Mayor (Regency/City scope). Specific mapping is in §1 of this page.
Beyond the NIB, KBLI 20112 carries 3 PB UMKU permits across 3 sector regulators: Industry & Materials (1), Pharmaceuticals (1), Veterinary & Animal Medicine (1). Most operations only need 2-4 of these — the relevant set depends on which specific activities you actually perform; Emerhub maps the right subset before filing.
