Govt pushes equitable distribution of data centers in Indonesia

The Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs is pushing for equitable distribution of data centers through regulation, aiming to prevent digital infrastructure from concentrating solely in already developed regions.

“We’re driving this through regulation, just as we did with expanding connectivity,” Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Nezar Patria said at the Bali Tech Week (BTW) 2026 in Denpasar, Bali, on Thursday.
