CATL and Partners Break Ground on US$6 Billion Battery Integration Project in Indonesia

  • On July 1, 2025, Indonesia commenced construction on a $5.9 billion electric vehicle battery manufacturing complex located in Karawang, West Java.
  • The project follows Indonesia's 2020 export ban on key metals, which spurred a domestic industrial boom in nickel and battery-related materials.
  • The initiative involves two complexes: Halmahera focusing on mining, smelting, and cathode production, and West Java on battery cell manufacturing and potential BESS expansion.
  • The facility plans to start with a production capacity of 6.9 GWh, eventually increasing to 15 GWh, while annually manufacturing approximately 142 thousand tons of nickel and 30 thousand tons of cathode materials, and providing 8,000 direct employment opportunities.
  • NGOs including Climate Rights International and Greenpeace call for stronger environmental safeguards around Halmahera amid warnings of unchecked damage around mining sites.
