West Java’s Infrastructure Investment Reaches IDR 77 Trillion — Is Your Project Insured?

Liga Asuransi – West Java’s economy is showing extraordinary growth. As of the third quarter of 2025, realized investment in West Java reached Rp 77.13 trillion, making it the province with the highest investment in Indonesia. This figure is not merely a statistic, but rather a reflection of the massive development of infrastructure, industrial estates, energy, transportation, and national strategic projects, all of which are now racing to be completed on time.

Some potential projects currently being accelerated in West Java include:

• The Cileunyi–Sumedang–Dawuan (Cisumdawu) toll road, which connects the industrial area and the BIJB Kertajati airport, improves regional connectivity.
• The Bogor–Ciawi–Sukabumi (Bocimi) toll road faces the challenges of the topography and weather of southern West Java.
• Patimban Port and the surrounding industrial area, which drives logistics, transportation, and export-import activities.
• The Getaci Toll Road (Gedebage–Tasikmalaya–Cilacap), a new project planned to start in 2026, offers early opportunities for contractors and investors.
• The flagship projects of the West Java Investment Challenge (WJIC) 2025 include rail-based mass transportation in Bandung, the New Depok TOD, and various industrial and agribusiness developments in Tasikmalaya, Garut, and Sumedang.

Despite the enormous potential and capital turnover, infrastructure projects also face significant risks. Construction delays, heavy equipment damage due to extreme weather, workplace accidents, and potential third-party legal claims can disrupt project operations and depress profits.

This is where infrastructure insurance plays a crucial role. Proper protection isn’t just an administrative obligation, but a financial shield that ensures projects continue to operate even when risks arise unexpectedly. Unfortunately, many project operators still prioritize insurance protection as an afterthought, even though sound risk management can actually expedite approvals from banks, investors, and regulators.

As a specialist project and infrastructure insurance broker, L&G Insurance Broker is here to help companies, contractors, and project owners obtain the most appropriate insurance coverage for each project’s risk profile. With experience handling large projects—from toll roads and bridges to ports and renewable energy facilities—L&G is ready to be your partner, ensuring optimal protection for your investment.

West Java Infrastructure Investment Map & Potential Risks

West Java is not only a center of economic growth but also a magnet for national infrastructure investment. Its realization of Rp 77.13 trillion in the third quarter of 2025 confirms this province’s strategic location for the development of major projects, both public and private.

Some of the major infrastructure projects currently underway or planned in West Java include:

Why Project Risks Must Be Managed

Every project, no matter how small, is vulnerable to financial, operational, and legal risks. For example:

• Force Majeure:Floods, landslides, earthquakes, fires, which can destroy project progress in a matter of days.
• Heavy Equipment and Material Damage:Heavy equipment such as excavators, cranes, and heavy equipment transportation are very expensive and prone to damage during operation.
• Human Error & Work Safety:Worker errors or accidents at project sites can trigger large claims from third parties.
• Project Completion Delays:Carrying contract penalties, loss of reputation, and financial losses.

Given the large investment value and potential risks, using infrastructure insurance is no longer an option, but a strategic necessity.

The Right Solution: Utilize project insurance products such as Contractors All Risks (CAR), Third Party Liability, Machinery Breakdown, and Performance Bond. L&G Insurance Broker is ready to help customize protection packages that suit the risk characteristics of each project in West Java — from toll roads and ports to industrial areas and mass transportation.

Types of Insurance That Infrastructure Projects Must Have

Infrastructure investment in West Java continues to grow, but project risks should not be overlooked. To ensure projects run smoothly and investors feel secure, several types of insurance should be considered by contractors, project owners, and consultants.

1. Contractors All Risks (CAR) / Erection All Risks (EAR)

Function:

• Protecting construction and installation work from physical damage due to accidents, fire, explosions, floods and other force majeure risks.
• Guaranteeing project materials and ongoing work.

Application examples:

• Cisumdawu Toll Road Project: CAR policy guarantees the construction of bridges and roads under construction from damage due to heavy rain and landslides.
• Without CAR, losses could reach hundreds of billions of rupiah if a disaster occurs while the project is still underway.

2. Third Party Liability (TPL)

Function:

• Covering losses to third parties resulting from project activities.
• Covers injury, death, or property damage to other parties caused by project operations. 

Application examples:

• Bocimi Toll Road: construction workers or heavy equipment can cause damage to the property of local residents.
• TPL ensures that third-party claims do not financially burden project owners.

3. Workmen Compensation / Personal Accident

Function:

• Protecting workers from the risk of work accidents, injuries or death during the project.
• Providing medical benefits, treatment, or family compensation.

Application examples:

• Patimban Port: stevedoring workers and crane operators are insured so that the company’s legal and financial risks can be minimized.

4. Machinery Breakdown & Heavy Equipment Insurance

Function:

• Guaranteeing heavy equipment and construction machinery from damage or operational failure.
• It is important for toll road, port, or high-rise building projects that rely on excavators, cranes, and other heavy equipment.

Application examples:

• WJIC Bandung Project: Excavators and cranes are insured to minimize sudden repair costs that could disrupt the project schedule.

5. Professional Indemnity Insurance

Function:

• Provides protection for consultants, architects and EPC contractors from claims resulting from professional error, faulty design or technical negligence.

Application examples:

• TOD Depok Baru: EPC consultants are insured if the station or public facility design causes financial loss to the project owner.

6. Performance Bond & Bank Guarantee

Function:

• As a guarantee of project implementation to the job owner.
• Ensuring projects are completed on time, according to contract, and to the agreed quality.

Application examples:

• Getaci Toll Road: A bank guarantee is a key requirement for project tenders. With the right insurance support, contractors can more easily secure tenders.

Case Studies & Lessons Learned from the Field

Knowing the potential risks alone isn’t enough. Real-life examples from infrastructure projects in West Java demonstrate the importance of having insurance protection from the outset.

Case 1: Cisumdawu Toll Road – Bridge Structural Damage Due to Heavy Rainfall

• Condition: During the bridge construction phase, heavy rain caused the supporting soil to slide and part of the bridge structure was threatened.
• Potential losses: Physical damage to the bridge worth tens of billions of rupiah, project delays, and additional costs for urgent repairs.
• Insurance solutions: Contractors who have Contractors All Risks (CAR) and Heavy Equipment Insurance can cover physical damage and repair costs, so that the project continues without burdening cash flow.

Case 2: Patimban Port Project – Risks of Goods and Heavy Equipment

• Condition: Heavy equipment was damaged during loading and unloading, while logistical materials were damaged due to the weather.
• Potential losses: Billions of rupiah in losses, delivery delays, and potential third-party claims.
• Insurance solutions: Machinery Breakdown and Marine Cargo policies ensure companies are compensated and can continue operations without interruption.

Case 3: WJIC Bandung – EPC Consultant Design Error

• Condition: One of the mass transit station designs has a technical error that has the potential to harm the project owner.

Lessons to be Learned

• Risks are real and unpredictable – from natural disasters to human error, every project has vulnerabilities.
• Losses can be significant – uninsured projects can cost tens to hundreds of billions of rupiah.
• Insurance protection is an investment – ​​the right policy not only covers losses, but also provides confidence for investors, banks and project stakeholders.
• The right start is key – incorporating insurance from the planning or tendering stage of a project provides premium efficiency, maximum risk mitigation, and smooth project operations.

Public-Private Partnership – Infrastructure Insurance Opportunities

The West Java government continues to encourage collaboration between the public and private sectors to accelerate infrastructure development. Programs such as the West Java Investment Challenge (WJIC) 2025, the development of Patimban Port, and strategic toll road projects offer significant opportunities for investors and contractors.

However, this collaboration brings with it the challenge of shared risks: delays, design changes, force majeure, and even financial risks. Therefore, insurance is a crucial bridge between potential benefits and actual risks.

• Banks & Investors Demand Protection:Investors and banks tend to require insurance to cover project risks.
• Cost Efficiency & Stakeholder Trust:Insured projects are easier to get approved, reduce the potential for claims, and accelerate return on investment.
• Comprehensive Protection: From Contractors All Risks, Machinery Breakdown, Marine Cargo, to Performance Bond, every project risk can be minimized with the right insurance package.

Therefore, L&G Insurance Brokerpresent as a strategic partner, helping to ensure that all parties — contractors, consultants, and project owners — receive appropriate and optimal protection.
