Indonesia-listed data centre operator PT DCI Indonesia Tbk has secured a new investment credit facility worth up to 17 trillion rupiah ($976 million) from Bank Central Asia to finance the expansion of its data centre capacity amid rising demand from customers.

The company said in a disclosure filed on Tuesday that the facility will be used to fund capital expenditure for the construction and completion of its data centres, as well as to fulfill contracted customer demand.

“The investment credit facility has a total credit limit of up to 17 trillion rupiah and will be used to finance the company’s capital expenditure requirements in connection with the construction and completion of data centre facilities as well as the fulfilment of customer demand for contracted capacity,” the company said in the filing.

To secure the loan, DCI pledged collateral, including land and buildings owned by the company, existing and future data centre machinery and equipment, temporary cash collateral in the form of its BCA current account, and insurance claim receivables.

DCI added that shareholders had previously approved the use of more than 50% of the company’s net assets as collateral for debt financing during a general meeting held on April 15, 2026.

“The company is of the view that this additional credit facility transaction does not have a negative impact on the company’s operational activities, legal standing, financial condition, or business continuity,” DCI said.

“On the contrary, this credit facility will provide significant benefits to the Company,” it added, citing support for data centre construction, completion of contracted capacity, and a stronger long-term financing structure.

The new loan comes as DCI accelerates capacity expansion across Indonesia. Last month, the company inaugurated its E2 Surabaya facility, marking its first data centre in eastern Indonesia and expanding beyond its main campuses in Greater Jakarta. The Surabaya facility is targeted to begin operations in the first half of 2026.

Earlier this year, DCI also expanded its footprint in Jakarta through a partnership with the Salim Group to launch what the companies described as the first Tier IV data centre in downtown Jakarta, located in the Kuningan area.

The expansion drive comes amid continued growth in DCI’s business. Revenue rose 11% year-on-year to 858.1 billion rupiah ($49.3 million) in the first quarter of 2026, while net profit attributable to shareholders fell to 377.8 billion rupiah ($21.7 million) from 418.8 billion rupiah ($24 million) a year earlier, according to the company’s interim financial statements.

The company booked 353.2 billion rupiah ($20.2 million) in fixed asset additions during the January-March period, underscoring ongoing investment in infrastructure expansion.

DCI is one of Indonesia’s largest data centre operators and is controlled by industry veterans Otto Toto Sugiri, Marina Budiman, and Han Arming Hanafia, with Salim Group chairman Anthoni Salim also among its major shareholders. Founded in 2011, the company operates carrier-neutral data centres serving cloud providers, financial institutions, telecom operators, enterprises, and e-commerce firms.

The company currently operates data centres across Jakarta, Cibitung, Karawang, and Surabaya, and counts global cloud providers, banks, Internet service providers, and enterprise customers among its clients.

DCI is also known as one of the earliest operators in Southeast Asia to obtain Tier IV certification from Uptime Institute, a global benchmark for data centre reliability and redundancy.
