§ 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 with carve-outs

Open to foreign investment, with carve-outs

KBLI 60202 is open as a class — a 100% foreign-owned PT PMA can be incorporated under this code — but Pres. Reg. 10/2021 carves out 1 specific sub-activity that are off-limits or restricted for foreign capital. The rest of the activity remains open to PMA. The carved-out items are listed below; any of them needs to be either avoided, served via an Indonesian operator, or structured around case-by-case.

Listed restrictions

Conditional sub-activities

Subscription Broadcasting Institution (LPB)
20% max foreign
100% Domestic capital is required for establishment, and a maximum of 20% Foreign capital is allowed for business expansion or development.

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).

Common questions about KBLI 60202

What is KBLI 60202?

KBLI 60202 (Aktivitas Penyiaran dan Pemrograman Televisi Oleh Swasta) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for private television broadcasting and programming activities. It sits within the Publishing, Broadcasting, Content Production and Distribution category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).

Can foreign investors operate under KBLI 60202?

KBLI 60202 is open to PT PMA at the class level under BUPM, but Pres. Reg. 10/2021 carves out specific sub-activities that are restricted to Indonesian capital, capped, or reserved for cooperatives/UMKM. A foreign investor can operate the unrestricted slices; sector regulators (BPOM, OJK, Kemenkes, Permendag, ESDM) commonly add their own requirements on top depending on the activity mix. Talk to our team to scope your business plan to the open portion.

What is the risk level of KBLI 60202?

KBLI 60202's risk levels per business scale: Micro High, Small High, Medium High, Large High. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.

What licenses does KBLI 60202 require?

NIB + Operating Licence (Izin). KBLI 60202 is High risk at Large scale, so the Operating Licence requires substantive sector-regulator approval before the business can operate. Expect a multi-month review with technical submissions. One sector-specific PB UMKU permit also applies. See the requirements summary at the top of the page.

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA under KBLI 60202?

BKPM Reg. 5/2025's default floor is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up capital at incorporation + IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI registered (realised over time and reported quarterly via LKPM). Sector regulators (OJK for financial, ESDM for energy, Kemenkes for healthcare, BPOM for food and cosmetics, Permendag for retail, Kominfo for digital platforms) often set higher minimums for specific activities — the binding figure depends on what you actually plan to operate, so confirm with our team before committing capital.

How long does it take to register a business under KBLI 60202?

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 60202 specifically takes 29 days at the Large business scale.

Is KBLI 60202 eligible for Indonesian tax incentives?

Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 60202 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.

Which authority issues the KBLI 60202 license?

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.

What other permits beyond the NIB does KBLI 60202 need?

Beyond the NIB, KBLI 60202 carries 1 PB UMKU permits across 1 sector regulator: Communications & Informatics (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.

What KBLI codes are similar to 60202?

KBLIs in the same subgroup 6020: 60201 (Government Television Broadcasting and Programming Activities); 60203 (Video On-Demand Distribution and Streaming Activities). These are closely related activities — see the related-codes section below for full list.
