JAKARTA: Indonesia is finalising a new set of incentives to attract investment from manufacturers of electric vehicles , a senior minister said on Tuesday , adding the government is still in talks with major companies like Tesla and BYD.

"Tomorrow we are going to finalise incentives that we are going to give to any EV investment in Indonesia," Luhut said, adding they were awaiting President Joko Widodo's approval.
