Chandra Asri (ISIN ID1000090301) plans an IDR 1 trillion buyback covering up to 800 million shares from October 20, 2026, to January 19, 2027, according to Bisnis.com on October 19, 2026. The planned repurchase equals 0.92 percent of the issued shares and is intended to support share value and price stability.

Three steps shaped the story

The company disclosed three dated developments. On October 6, 2026, Chandra Asri outlined plans to create more than 1,000 jobs in Indonesia by 2028, as Investor.id reported. On October 15, 2026, Danantara, INA and Chandra Asri completed the CA-EDC investment partnership, with the project designed to produce 400,000 metric tons of caustic soda and 500,000 metric tons of ethylene dichloride annually, according to Danantara. On October 19, 2026, the company disclosed the 800 million-share buyback and its IDR 1 trillion funding limit through the report from Bisnis.com.

What does CA-EDC add?

The project gives Chandra Asri a larger domestic chemicals platform. The October 15, 2026 release says construction had reached 80 percent by September 2026 and commercial operations remain targeted for 2027. The facility's combined annual design capacity is 900,000 metric tons, split between caustic soda and ethylene dichloride.

The buyback window has two dates

The repurchase is scheduled to begin on October 20, 2026, and end on January 19, 2027, with internal cash funding and shares held as treasury stock, according to Bisnis.com. The company also set a repurchase price range of IDR 1,250 to IDR 3,000 per share.

Industrial capacity remains the anchor

Chandra Asri's website describes a business spanning energy, chemicals and infrastructure, with annual chemical production of 4.2 million metric tons and electric energy production of 320 megawatts. The buyback therefore arrives alongside a project expansion that adds a defined 2027 operating milestone.
