Starting in 2026, you cannot separate business licensing in Indonesia from spatial planning compliance. RDTR, or Rencana Detail Tata Ruang, has become a decisive factor in whether your business can legally operate. With the enforcement of PP No. 28/2025, the OSS system now relies directly on RDTR to issue KKPR, NIB, and related licenses.
RDTR defines which business activities are allowed in specific zones. When you submit your business address and coordinates in OSS, the system automatically checks whether your KBLI aligns with the permitted zoning. If it does not, the process stops. There is no manual workaround.
As of December 15, 2025, 539 RDTRs are already integrated into OSS, and this number continues to grow. For foreign investors, this means regulatory certainty, but also higher entry barriers if not handled correctly.

The Real Risks of Ignoring RDTR Compliance
Many foreign entrepreneurs still assume that licensing issues can be fixed later. Under the new RDTR-driven OSS system, this assumption is risky. A zoning mismatch does not just delay approval. It can lead to rejection of your NIB, forced relocation, or a complete restart of the licensing process.
Ignoring RDTR can result in sunk lease costs, delayed construction, repeated submissions, and months of lost operational time. For expansion-focused businesses, these delays can affect market entry timing and investor confidence.
Why RDTR Knowledge Matters for Foreign Investors
For foreign business owners, RDTR is not just a technical regulation. It is a strategic filter. It determines where you can operate, what activities you can run, and how fast you can launch. Understanding RDTR early allows you to choose the right location, structure your investment correctly, and avoid regulatory friction.
This is where local regulatory insight makes a difference. We bridge global business objectives with Indonesia’s spatial and licensing framework, so your decisions are based on verified compliance, not assumptions.
