The Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer is also expanding its production activities in line with domestic sales growth.

Head of Public and Government Relations at BYD Indonesia, Luther T Panjaitan, said the company's Subang manufacturing facility has a maximum production capacity of 150,000 vehicles annually, equivalent to approximately 10,000–12,000 vehicles per month.

At the targeted utilization rate, the factory could produce between 120,000 and 135,000 vehicles annually.

Luther said BYD aims to increase factory utilization to support its manufacturing operations and meet market demand.

"Our target is to reach at least 80 to 90 percent of our total manufacturing capacity this year," Luther said at the BYD factory in Subang, West Java, on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

The company has also established partnerships with more than 200 local partners at its Subang manufacturing facility.

Domestic Sales Growth Supports BYD Production Expansion

BYD's production expansion is taking place alongside increasing sales in Indonesia. The company currently records monthly sales of approximately 6,000–7,000 vehicles.

To maintain this sales performance, BYD is preparing new vehicle models and expanding its marketing network across different regions of Indonesia.

These efforts are part of the company's strategy to support market demand while increasing the utilization of its manufacturing facility.

BYD is also preparing to introduce a seven-seater sport utility vehicle (SUV) designed to handle challenging road conditions while providing comfort for everyday use.

The upcoming vehicle is intended to address consumer needs amid rising fuel prices. Luther said the model, which is most likely the BYD Ti7, is expected to be introduced at the 2026 GAIKINDO Auto Show (GAW).

The planned introduction is part of BYD's efforts to develop its product range and expand its presence in the Indonesian automotive market.
