Indonesia’s Trade Ministry plans to revise Trade Minister Regulation No. 31/2023.
The revision places ride-hailing services Grab and Gojek under the e-commerce regulatory framework.
The draft tightens rules on fee disclosures, AI use, and promotional discounts.
It mandates prioritizing domestic products.
It also bars platforms from favoring affiliated payment or logistics services.
Industry groups oppose the revision.
They argue the framework ignores the distinct business models of ride-hailing and e-commerce.
They warn the rules could introduce regulatory uncertainty.
They also caution the rules could negatively weigh on operator profitability in Grab's Indonesian market.
