KBLI 61100: Cable Telecommunications Activities

KBLI 61100: Cable Telecommunications Activities · 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 61100 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.

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 61100 require?

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA under KBLI 61100?

Sector regulator override: IDR 100 billion+ (NAP licence) required by Kominfo under PP 46/2021 (Pos, Telekomunikasi & Penyiaran). This is higher than BKPM Reg. 5/2025's default IDR 2.5 billion paid-up; the higher number wins.
