In the hearing on June 26, 2025, the KPPU suspected that the reported parties had violated Article 22 of Law Number 5 of 1999.
Indonesia's Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) has begun holding a preliminary examination panel hearing on case number 07/KPPU-L/2025 concerning alleged collusion in the maintenance tender for the Motoren-und Turbinen-Union (MTU) main engine worth around Rp54 billion at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance on June 26, 2025. In the hearing on June 26, 2025, the KPPU suspected that the reported parties had violated Article 22 of Law Number 5 of 1999.
Head of the Public Relations and Cooperation Bureau of the KPPU, Deswin Nur, said that this tender case involved two reported parties, namely PT Dieselindo Utama Nusa and PT Rolls Royce Solution Indonesia or the domestic branch of the British company.
"The agenda is to present the report on alleged violations by KPPU investigators and examine the completeness and suitability of evidence in the form of letters and supporting documents,"
said Deswin in a written statement, quoted on Saturday, June 28, 2025.
The trial was led by KPPU Member Mohammad Reza as Chair of the Commission Council, accompanied by KPPU Members Hilman Pujana and Eugenia Mardanugraha as Members of the Commission Council. Meanwhile, the legal counsel for PT Dieselindo Utama Nusa and PT Rolls Royce Solution Indonesia also attended the trial.
Deswin said that this case began with a tender for the maintenance of the MTU main engine of the Tanjung Balai Karimun Type A Customs Operations Facility Base and the maintenance of the MTU main engine of the Batam Type B Customs Operations Facility Base. MTU or a combination of engine and turbine motors is a heavy-duty electronic fuel injection diesel engine that is generally used for various applications, including ships, trains, power plants, and military vehicles.
Both tenders were won by PT Dieselindo Utama Nusa as the reported party I who received support from PT Rolls Royce Solution Indonesia as the reported party II. Deswin said that PT Dieselindo Utama Nusa won the type A tender worth Rp42.8 billion, while PT Rolls Royce Solution Indonesia won type B worth Rp11.1 billion.
Based on this finding, Deswin added, the KKPU suspected that the two reported parties violated Article 22 of Law Number 5 of 1999, including regarding the arrangement of tender winners. "The arrangement and determination of Reported Party I as the tender winner, resulting in unfair business competition," said Deswin.
After this first trial, the KPPU scheduled to examine the completeness and suitability of the evidence at the next trial on July 8, 2025. The period of this preliminary examination is 30 working days from June 26, 2025.
