Toll Road Tariffs Hiked 10% Average

JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Toll Road Regulatory Body (BPJT) proposes an average 10% hike of toll road tariffs effective September 27, 2013.
Ahmad Ghano Ghazaly, head of BPJT, said tariff hike is adjusted with inflation rate in respective regions in the period of September 2011 to August 31, 2013.
The tariff hike is part of the regular two-year adjustment in order to keep the infrastructure sector attractive to investors.
