Indosat Books US$50 Million AI Cloud Revenue in Nine Months, Surpassing All of 2025
The operator's nine-month results show double-digit growth with AI cloud revenue already ahead of last year's total, backed by an 86,000 km open-access fiber grid and a gigawatt-scale data center JV.
Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison reported nine-month 2026 revenue of Rp45.8 trillion, up 11 percent year on year, with net profit up 37.2 percent, and disclosed that Indosat AI Cloud revenue reached US$50 million in the period — already ahead of the US$28 million booked across all of 2025. The operator targets US$100 million in AI cloud revenue by year-end.
The AI business sits on a full-stack build-out: the RAIA Grid, an 86,000-kilometer open-access fiber network operated through subsidiary PT Infra Fiber Teknologi; Zankore, a joint venture with Ooredoo, Nokia and NVIDIA targeting one gigawatt of AI data center capacity with a first 200 MW phase in Batang planned for early 2027; and the Indosat Intelligence Suite, built with F5, offering managed AI access to enterprises.
The results position Indonesian telcos as active AI infrastructure and services providers rather than connectivity vendors, with unverified press reports separately suggesting 2027 contract discussions above US$300 million. The company's shares fell 6.7 percent after the results, reflecting investor scrutiny of AI spending returns.
