A significant regulatory development from the Indonesian Ministry of Industry took effect on 27 March 2025. The new regulation — Minister of Industry Regulation No. 6 of 2025* — repeals the previous framework** and introduces substantial changes to the data reporting obligations for companies holding business licenses in the industrial sector.
One of the central features of this new regulation is the requirement for industrial companies (“Companies“) to submit preliminary data before their regular industrial data reporting through the Sistem Informasi Industri Nasional (“SIINas”). The reporting process is designed to support national industrial data transparency and planning initiatives.
The regulation also refines how companies are classified for reporting purposes. Companies are now required to report data based on their respective operational stage — either in the construction or production phase — and by their scale, which is determined by investment value. These scales include small industries, medium-large industries, and specialized industries such as shipyards. All data submissions must be made via the SIINas system.
A notable adjustment introduced under the new framework is the change in reporting frequency. Whereas companies were previously required to report industrial data biannually, the new regulation imposes a quarterly reporting obligation. Companies must now submit industrial data for each quarter within a specific reporting window, followed by a short correction period. This shift reflects the government’s objective to ensure more frequent, timely, and consistent industrial data monitoring nationwide.
Another key development is the introduction of a new Independent Verification Body (Lembaga Verifikasi Independen or “LVI”) as part of the data verification process. Similar to the previous regime, submitted data will first be reviewed and validated through SIINas by the designated Sector Supervisor (Pembina Sektor). However, where necessary, the LVI may conduct on-site verifications to assess data accuracy. This process may include field inspections and follow-up clarifications to ensure that all submitted data aligns with regulatory requirements.
This regulatory change signals the government’s growing emphasis on data integrity, sectoral oversight, and responsive industrial policymaking.
