Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) has received the last batch of 6,600 tons of rails for the Jakarta-Bandung high speed railway (HSR) project in Indonesia. The delivery of the rails will allow the start of track laying for the Jakarta-Bandung HSR, accelerating the project construction.
The rails will be transported to the track-laying base of the Tegal Luar Depot in batches. The rails will then be welded into 500-meter-long steel rails for use in the Jakarta-Bandung HSR project. The HSR project is expected to reduce travel time between Jakarta and Bandung, the capital of West Java province, from more than three hours to around 40 minutes.
