Indonesia's DCI Indonesia secures $1B credit facility from BCA for data centre expansion
What's the deal? DCI IndonesiaDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → (DCII), the data centre company controlled by Indonesian tycoon Otto Toto Sugiri, has secured a massive Rp 17 trillion (roughly $1 billion) credit facility from Bank Central AsiaDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → (BBCA), Indonesia's largest private bank. The funds will primarily go towards building and completing new data centre facilities.
Corporate secretary Indri Koesindrijastoeti said the credit line will support the company's capital expenditure needs as customer demand for data centre capacity grows.
To secure the loan, DCII is pledging land, buildings (existing and planned), and all data centre machinery and equipment. The company's BCA current accounts will serve as interim collateral until all other guarantees are formally bound. Insurance claims on the pledged assets are also included.
Shareholders approved the deal on April 15, 2026, authorising the company to pledge more than 50% of its net assets to obtain the new financing.
Why now? Southeast Asia's data centre market is booming, driven by surging cloud adoption, AI workloads, and digital transformation across the region. Indonesia, as the largest economy in the bloc, sits at the centre of that demand wave. DCII needs to expand capacity quickly to keep pace with customers — and a credit facility of this size signals it expects that demand to persist.
What could go wrong? Pledging more than half the company's net assets is a significant bet. If data centre demand softens — or if construction costs overrun — DCII could find itself heavily leveraged with collateral tied up. Currency risk also looms: the loan is denominated in rupiah, but global equipment procurement often requires dollars.
The signal: DCI Indonesia, classified as a late-growth-stage company offering tier-IV hyperscale colocation services, is making a capex bet that mirrors the broader race among Southeast Asian operators to build AI-ready infrastructure at scale. The sheer size of the credit facility — and the willingness of Bank Central Asia, a corporate lender rather than a specialist infrastructure fund, to back it — suggests that mainstream financial institutions now view data centre capacity in Indonesia as a core infrastructure play, not a niche tech bet.
