The first High-speed Rail project in Southeast Asia, the Jakarta to Bandung High-Speed Rail, is almost complete.

The Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, which is expected to begin commercial operations by June 2023, is a flagship project that synergizes China’s Belt and Road Initiatives, and Indonesia's Global Maritime Fulcrum strategy.
The Jakarta-Bandung line will be the first high-speed railway in Southeast Asia with a designated speed of 350 kilometers per hour, reducing the average commute time between both cities from 3 hours to 40 minutes, boosting economic competitiveness in regions along the route.
The new line will revolutionize, the local and visitor commute, between Indonesia’s bustling, the chaotic capital of 32 million people, and the colonial-era West Javan city of Bandung with its eight million residents and surrounding natural attractions.
The train will have an operating maximum speed of 350 kph, with around 80 kilometers of the line built on elevated viaducts to traverse urban areas and farmland. The planned launch date is June 2023 with further plans to extend the line east to Surabaya, which is currently a nine-hour journey from Jakarta.
On the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Bali Indonesia, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indonesian President Joko Widodo watched over a video Livestream as the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway sped through its first trial run between Tegalluar Station and Casting Yard No. 4 in Antara, last November 21, 2022.
Currently, according to KCIC, the Jakarta-Bandung HSR construction is less than 80 percent complete, while the investment progress was at 90 percent as of last year.
The construction of tunnels and bridges is almost entirely done, at 95 percent completion. However, the structure of Padalarang Station, which is the meeting point between the HSR and feeder trains, is less than 15 percent complete.
Last September, the first batch of Eleven pairs of high-speed electric passenger trains and an inspection train, made in China and customized for the Indonesian HSR project arrived.
