Jakarta Environment Agency Head, Asep Kuswanto said the existing or previously procured SPKU was 12 units. In 2025, Jakarta was targeted to have 25 SPKUs.

He hoped that the new SKPU could share maximum air quality data and be used as the main reference for all parties. To achieve optimal implementation, other regulations were needed to improve Jakarta's air quality.

"In 2024, we'll accelerate air quality management in Jakarta. Besides increasing the number of SPKUs, we also strengthen regulations to improve air quality, one of which is through low emission zones," he stated.
