CATL (3750 HK) & Antam (ANTM IJ) Break Ground on $6B Integrated Battery Project in Indonesia
- CATL, Antam, and IBC officially broke ground on a $6 billion integrated battery project in Indonesia on July 1, 2025.
- What it is: A full value-chain initiative spanning nickel mining to battery recycling, anchored across Karawang (cell production) and East Halmahera (mining, cathode, and recycling).
- Why it matters: Positions CATL to secure long-term upstream supply and expand regional capacity (~15% of global base), while Antam gains transformative exposure to high-margin downstream battery economics.
