What happened
Governor Dedi Mulyadi temporarily halted construction of a BDx data center in Jatiluhur, West Java, on October 8, 2026,. The decision was made because required permits had not yet been issued, not because the project had violated environmental rules. The project had previously faced scrutiny regarding its water use.
