NEC Corporation has secured a contract from Larsen & Toubro Limited and Japan-based Sojitz Corporation to develop a communications system and a Facility Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition System for the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) North-South Line Extension Project Phase 2. This project is financially supported by the Government of Japan via a development assistance loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Phase 2 of the North-South Line Extension Project extends the existing 16-km-long line, running from Lebak Bulus Grab Station to Bundaran HI Station, by approximately 6 km to Kota Station. The total line length will reach around 22 km, with an estimated travel time of 45 minutes from Lebak Bulus Grab Station to Kota Station. The extension is scheduled to be fully operational by 2030.
