NEC Corporation has secured a contract from Larsen & Toubro Limited and Japan-based Sojitz Corporation to develop a communications system and a Facility Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition System for the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) North-South Line Extension Project Phase 2.

The Japanese government is supporting this project through a development assistance loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The second phase of the Jakarta Urban Mass Rapid Transit North-South Line Extension Project will extend the 16-km line (Lebak Bulus Grab Station - Bundaran HI Station) opened in the first phase further north by approximately 6 km (between Bundaran HI Station and Kota Station), for a total length of approximately 22 km. The line will carry passengers between Lebak Bulus Grab Station to Kota Station in approximately 45 minutes and is scheduled to be fully operational in 2030.
