BIRS is a ±198-kilometer, fully electrified, island-wide railway system for Bali — a greenfield rail infrastructure investment platform delivered in four phases, designed to relieve road congestion, integrate Bali’s economy, and generate stable, long-duration, infrastructure-style returns for institutional capital.
A Greenfield Rail Platform for Bali
Bali’s tourism and resident economy generates rapidly growing mobility demand, with annual passenger movements across the island forecast to approach ±180 million trips by 2035. Growth is concentrated in the corridors linking South Bali’s urban core with the island’s north, west, and regional centers — corridors currently served by a road network under sustained congestion pressure.
BIRS is proposed as Bali’s long-term answer: a ±198-kilometer electrified railway system delivered in four phases, integrating urban commuter service, intercity connectivity, and regional links into a single island-wide network. The platform is structured as a fully equity-capitalised PPP, targeting long-term institutional capital seeking stable, infrastructure-style returns with upside from transit-oriented development, commercial, and advertising revenue.
±198 kilometers delivered in four sequential phases, each unlocking a distinct layer of network value.
Total CAPEX: IDR 42.49 Trillion

| Cost Category | Amount (IDR Trillion) |
|---|---|
| Civil Works and Structures | 23.50 |
| Track, Systems and Signalling | 8.04 |
| Stations, Depots and Facilities | 3.54 |
| Rolling Stock | 1.92 |
| Project Management and Contingency | 5.49 |
| Total CAPEX | 42.49 |
A Complete Rail Ecosystem
BIRS integrates civil infrastructure, systems, stations, and rolling stock into a single operating network.
| Risk Category | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|
| Construction Risk | Phased delivery with EPC risk transfer |
| Demand Risk | Conservative ramp-up assumptions |
| Regulatory Risk | Strong alignment with national and provincial policy |
| Social Risk | Early community engagement and adat (customary law) compliance |
| Financial Risk | Staged financing, DSRA, and financial covenants |
BIRS is directly aligned with national and provincial rail planning frameworks.
Stable, Long-Duration, ESG-Aligned Returns
| ESG Dimension | Contribution |
