Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How Indonesia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Indonesia.

Where it sits

Greater Jakarta holds 37 active projects with 3,240 MW of planned IT load between them, and BDx CGK4 AI Campus, Jatiluhur ranks 8th by planned capacity. Of those, 12 are operational, 10 are operational and expanding, 8 are under construction, 1 is being commissioned, 1 is at the land and permitting stage, 3 are announced only and 2 are on hold. Published colocation vacancy in Greater Jakarta was 24.9% as of December 2025, on 322 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.

BDx has 2 others in Indonesia tracked by ArusGrid, including BDx CGK5, Suryacipta City of Industry and BDx CGK3A, Cilandak. It sits on the BDx CGK4 Jatiluhur campus. Named funding comes from I Squared Capital on the equity side and Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and Lintasarta. Named users of the compute are Lintasarta (GPU Merdeka sovereign AI cloud) (confirmed) and GoTo (Sahabat-AI) (reported, unconfirmed).

The build is phased. Phase 1 is operational with a 2024 target; AI Campus 2 Building 1 of 6 at 120 MW is on hold with a 2027 target. The dated record runs from operational and expanding on 22 September 2026 to on hold on 30 September 2026. Power comes from PLN through grid supply (reported, unconfirmed). Cooling uses direct liquid cooling.

Grid power for a large industrial user in Indonesia costs about US$0.062 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Indonesia, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 19 public sources for this project, the latest dated 19 October 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.

1,000 Nvidia H100 at Jatiluhur, Purwakarta (Aug 2024); phase one of CGK4 · as of 2024-11-29

BDx's own release (29 Nov 2024) introduces the CGK4 AI campus phase 1 built with Nvidia for the Indosat and Lintasarta sovereign AI cloud; Nvidia's blog names BDx Indonesia AI Data Center as host of GPU Merdeka by Lintasarta; Uzone quotes Lintasarta's CCO that 1,000 H100 are ready at the Jatiluhur, Purwakarta site. Note BDx's Sep 2026 groundbreaking release says CGK4 Building 1's first contracted phase enters service early 2027, so the 2024 deployment is the smaller phase-one plant on the same campus.

Money at this site

ArusGrid estimate, building costabout US$1.1bn to US$1.7bn

No figure has been announced. This range is 120 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$11.21 per watt for Jakarta, plus or minus 15 percent, with 10 percent more at the top for liquid cooling because the project is AI-positioned. It covers the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. It excludes land, grid works, servers and fees.

Benchmark: Turner & Townsend Data Centre Construction Cost Index 2025, as reported by Data Storage Asia. An estimate is never added to any total on the site.
