Indonesia issues regulation on ride-hailing revenue sharing
The transport minister said an 8 per cent platform fee was included in an earlier ministerial decision, while delivery charges are still being assessed.
Indonesia has issued Presidential Regulation No. 27/2026 to govern how app-based motorcycle drivers and platforms such as Grab and Gojek share revenue. Announced on 8 October 2026, the regulation covers passenger transport as well as food and goods deliveries.
Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi told parliament in Jakarta that his ministry had already established revenue-sharing arrangements for goods transport before the presidential regulation was issued. He said a ministerial decision that took effect on 1 July included an 8 per cent platform fee.
The Ministry of Communication and Digital will set revenue-sharing arrangements involving drivers, platforms and food and beverage sellers. Services covered include Gojek’s GoFood and Gosend, along with Grab Food and GrabExpress.
Deputy Communication and Digital Minister Nezar Patria said the ministry was testing scenarios for food and goods delivery charges and would set them through a ministerial regulation soon. He said the rules were intended to provide adequate driver income and protection against delivery risks, while requiring accountability and transparency in platform pricing.
Under the presidential regulation, President Prabowo Subianto assigned the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises responsibility for ride-hailing policy. Passenger fares fall under the Transport Ministry, while the Ministry of Communication and Digital is responsible for food and goods delivery charges.
