Key facts for KBLI 30400
The essentials a foreign investor needs to know before reading the rest of this page.
Foreign capital capped at 49% — requires 51% Indonesian partner for any PT PMA registered under this KBLI. The Indonesian portion can be held by individuals or by an Indonesian-owned entity.
Default minimum paid-up capital: IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) under BKPM Reg. 5/2025 (effective Oct 2025) — applies unless a sector regulator sets a higher figure for this activity. The often-cited IDR 10 billion is the total investment commitment per KBLI realised over time via quarterly LKPM reports, not required upfront.
High-risk activity — requires NIB + full Operating License (Izin) to operate commercially. NIB alone enables only the preparation stage; an Operating License must be obtained before invoicing or production starts.
Statutory licensing turnaround: 7 days once we submit the application — on top of the 2–3 weeks for PT PMA incorporation. We coordinate the full sequence end-to-end.
Issuing authority for PMA: Menteri/Kepala Badan — specific to foreign-owned entities under this KBLI.
Ongoing reporting: quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Report) to BKPM plus 6 sector-specific obligations. We file these on your behalf as part of monthly compliance — you stay out of the OSS portal entirely.

How we handle your KBLI 30400 setup
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.
- 1
Structure the shareholding to fit the 49% foreign-ownership cap
2–3 business daysKBLI 30400 caps foreign equity at 49%. We design a shareholding split that respects this cap while preserving your operational control — typically through a combination of voting/non-voting shares and a binding shareholders' agreement.
What we need from you- Founders' passport copies and proof of residence
- Intended share split and board composition
- 2
Incorporate your PT PMA
7–10 business daysWe 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.
What we need from you- Powers of attorney (we prepare; you sign and notarize)
- Director / commissioner appointment letters
- Initial capital deposit confirmation
- 3
We obtain your NIB
1–2 business daysWe file the OSS application with KBLI 30400 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.
What we need from you- Office address (virtual office acceptable for many KBLIs; we can arrange one)
- 4
Secure your full Operating License (Izin)
7+ business daysNIB 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. 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.
What we need from you- Technical documentation specific to your operation
- Appointment of a Penanggung Jawab Teknis (PJT — technical responsible person)
- 5
Hand-off to ongoing compliance
OngoingPost-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.
What is KBLI 30400?
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 30400 (Industri Kendaraan Perang) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for military vehicle industry. It sits within Manufacturing Industry under the subgroup The Military Vehicle Industry. in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Who needs KBLI 30400?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in military vehicle industry 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.
Why does the code matter?
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.
Manufacturing-specific guidance
Sector context that applies to KBLI 30400 beyond the generic OSS process. Verify with the relevant ministry before committing capital.
- ·Industry data reporting via SIINas every 6 months.
- ·BPOM registration required for any food, drug, cosmetic, or medical device produced.
- ·Halal certification mandatory for most consumable products.
Under the upcoming KBLI 2025
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.
Carried forward into KBLI 2025
KBLI 30400 retains the same code number and scope in the new taxonomy. The activity description, hierarchy, and intended use of the code are preserved.
- ·Continue using 30400 for current registrations under KBLI 2020.
- ·When OSS adopts KBLI 2025 (timing not yet announced), no migration is required for this code.
- ·Risk level, permits, and authority routing shown above remain in effect under both taxonomies.
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 specialistRisk level by business scale
Indonesia'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.
