The development of Nusantara, Indonesia’s planned new capital city located in East Kalimantan, is proceeding as scheduled despite ongoing forest and land fires in the region. Officials from the OIKN (Nusantara Capital Authority) have stated the fires have not disrupted construction or progress on key infrastructure projects. While East Kalimantan is experiencing the blazes, the specific area designated for Nusantara’s development remains unaffected. Mitigation efforts are in place to prevent fires from encroaching on the new capital city zone. The OIKN assures that monitoring and preventative measures are being actively implemented to safeguard the project. Development continues to prioritize environmental sustainability alongside infrastructure goals in Nusantara. The authority remains committed to the timely completion of Indonesia’s new administrative center.
