SIG involvement in the National Strategic Project (PSN), such as the construction of the IKN Nusantara infrastructure and the Trans Sumatra Toll Road, drove an increase in domestic sales, especially in bulk sales. This resulted in a revenue increase of 6.2% from the previous year.

Despite costs increasing due to rising fuel costs and inflation, SIG managed to suppress the total cost/ton through operational optimization initiatives. SIG also succeeded in reducing interest-bearing debt and financial burdens, which contributed to an increase in pre-tax profit.
