Obayashi Corporation (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Toru Shiraishi) has been awarded Jakarta MRT Project, surface section CP103 in JV with Shimizu Corporation (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President: Yoichi Miyamoto) and PT. Jaya Konstruksi Manggala Pratama Tbk (Head Office: Jalan Bintaro Raya, Jakarta, President: Trisna Mulyadi).

The project, which is the first MRT (Mass Rapid Transportation) in Indonesia, will connect from the downtown of Jakarta, Bundaran HI, to the southern area, Lebak Bulus (about 15.7km) in order to reduce heavy traffic jam in the Jakarta metropolitan area. This project is funded by the Japanese government through the Official Development Assistance (ODA).

Obayashi contributes to total three sections of the MRT construction projects as it had already been awarded other two subsurface sections of the MRT project, CP104 (about 1.8km), CP105 (about 2.1km), in JV with Shimizu Corporation and other two companies.
