TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The National Train Industry (INKA) has prepared to export electric diesel trains worth US$70 million dolar to Sri Lanka.
“We need only to bid our offer. We have met the requirements,” said Finance & HRM Director of INKA, Mohamad Nur Sodiq.
Sodiq added that Sri Lanka is a new export market for INKA in the South East Asia.
Previously, the country is known to rely only to India for such product. INKA has managed to export 150 cars to Bangladesh in the first stage. It is set to send 250 more in the second stage.
Other than Bangladesh, INKA has exported trains to Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Australia, and North African countries.
“In the near future, we will penetrate Myanmar and Sri Lanka’s market,” said Sodiq.
