JAKARTA - PT Kalimantan Alumunium Industry (KAI) and PT Kaltara Power Indonesia (KPI) have obtained a loan facility of IDR 2.5 trillion in total to aid the establishment of aluminium smelting facility and power plant in North Kalimantan.

In the information disclosure quoted Wednesday (17/5), Mahardika Putranto, Corporate Secretary of PT Adaro Energy Indonesia Tbk (ADRO), the indirect parent company of KPI and KAI, said that this facility is intended to support investment and operational activities of the company. "The project development is an example of our commitment and participation in the government's mineral downstreaming programs," he said.
