Press Release
Chandra Asri Group Achieves 50% Completion of CA-EDC Plant
Construction, Strengthening Downstream Development and
National Chemical Industry Self-Reliance
CA-EDC Plant Construction Employs 3,250 Workers, Reinforcing Contribution to the
National Economy
Jakarta, February 20, 2026 – PT Chandra Asri Pacific Tbk (Chandra Asri Group), a leading
integrated energy, chemical, and infrastructure solutions provider in Southeast Asia, through
its subsidiary PT Chandra Asri Alkali (CAA), announced that construction progress of the
Chlor-Alkali and Ethylene Dichloride (CA-EDC) Plant in Cilegon, Banten has reached
50%. The facility has entered the peak production phase and forms part of the company’s
strategy to support the downstream development of Indonesia’s chemical industry by
strengthening domestic production capacity for basic chemicals.
Several major works have been completed, including the installation of the plant’s main
structures, piping network systems, and preparations for electrical connectivity as part of the
steps toward operational readiness. This world class facility is targeted to commence
commercial operations in the first quarter of 2027.
Erwin Ciputra, President Director & CEO of Chandra Asri Group, stated, “CA-EDC Plant
represents one of Chandra Asri Group’s strategic initiatives to strengthen a more resilient and
integrated domestic chemical industry foundation. Through increased domestic production
capacity of strategic chemicals, this facility will enhance national supply security, reduce import
dependency, and create greater added value through EDC export opportunities. We hope that
the presence of the CA-EDC Plant will further solidify Indonesia’s role in the Southeast Asian
chemical industry supply chain.”
In addition to reinforcing the industry foundation, the development of this facility also
contributes to the economy through job creation and the involvement of local businesses.
During the construction phase, approximately 3,000 workers have been employed, and once
fully operational in the first quarter of 2027, it is projected to create around 250 new jobs.
The project will involve MSME as part of its supply chain and ongoing operational support.
This engagement reflects the company’s commitment to fostering the participation of local
businesses and strengthening the economic ecosystem surrounding its operational areas.
In its initial operational phase, the facility will have an annual production capacity of 827,000
tons of caustic soda and 500,000 tons of Ethylene Dichloride (EDC). This capacity is designed
to reinforce the domestic supply of strategic chemicals while optimizing opportunities in the
regional market.
In the long-term projection, caustic soda production is expected to substitute imports of up to
827,000 tons per year, valued at approximately USD 293 million, or around IDR 4.9 trillion.
Meanwhile, the entire EDC output will be allocated for export markets, with foreign exchange

potential estimated at approximately USD 300 million, equivalent to around IDR 5 trillion per
year.
With the achievement of 50% construction progress, Chandra Asri Group reaffirms its
commitment to strengthening the competitiveness of Indonesia’s chemical industry through
enhanced domestic production capacity, stronger supply chains, and the creation of greater
added value for the national economy.
