PT Celebes Railway Indonesia has appointed Siswantono as President Director for the 2026 term onward, according to a company statement. He succeeds Rully Noviandar, who served as President Director from 2024 to 2026.
Established on February 6, 2019, the company oversees the operation and maintenance of railway infrastructure in South Sulawesi, particularly the Makassar–Parepare line. The corridor, the first railway line in Sulawesi, supports both passenger and freight services and includes tracks, stations, signalling systems, and bridges along the route.
Celebes Railway Indonesia is a consortium comprising PT PP (Persero) Tbk, PT Bumi Karsa, PT China Communications Construction Engineering Indonesia, and PT Iroda Mitra. In 2025, the company undertook a divestment initiative to strengthen its focus on its core business and deployed track geometry trolley technology to enhance rail inspection and operational safety.
