Commenting on Indonesia’s energy landscape and Thermax’s role, Ashish Bhandari, MD & CEO of Thermax, stated, “Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing countries in the world with significant energy needs. Balancing energy growth with energy sustainability requires technologically advanced solutions and this is where Thermax comes in. Our solutions for biomass-based energy and steam, waste heat recovery, waste to energy and pollution abatement systems, etc., are ideally suited for the market. By leveraging innovation and fostering strategic collaborations with the government, industry partners, and manufacturing sectors, we aim to accelerate Indonesia’s shift towards a cleaner, more resilient energy ecosystem—standing by them as a trusted partner in their energy transition journey.”  He further emphasised, “Our commitment to Indonesia goes beyond words. A few years ago, we invested in a factory focused on delivering locally manufactured products with the philosophy: ‘In Indonesia, for Indonesia, by Indonesians’. The plant now has over 100 employees. Last year, we expanded our operations by adding another plant for chemical manufacturing on the same premises. Our plans for future growth include scaling operations and creating more employment opportunities.”

Alongside the roadshow, Thermax hosted a high-impact panel discussion titled “Energy Transition in Indonesia: Balancing Growth, Sustainability, and Accessibility.” Moderated by Taufiq Rahman, Editor-in-Chief of The Jakarta Post, the session brought together distinguished industry leaders, policymakers, and sustainability advocates. The panel explored opportunities and practical pathways for Indonesia’s energy transformation. Notable speakers included Dr. Eniya Listiani Dewi, Director General, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources; Sandeep Chakravorty, Ambassador, Embassy of India, Jakarta; S D Darmono, Chairman & Co-Founder, PT Jababeka Tbk; and Ashish Bhandari, MD & CEO, Thermax.
