The merger between XL Axiata and Smartfren refers to the consolidation of the two companies to drive innovation, improve service quality, and expand digital connectivity across Indonesia. This initiative aims to provide customers and the public with better, more innovative, and more equitable digital services.
The merger will unite two of Indonesia’s most trusted telecommunications companies to form a new entity that is better positioned to serve all stakeholders and accelerate the country's digital economy:
1. It offers significant strategic, operational, and financial benefits that will enable the merged entity to deliver value to all stakeholders in ways that would be difficult to achieve independently.
2. It creates a stronger integrated telecommunications operator with enhanced scale, financial strength, and expertise—enabling accelerated network investments, improved service quality, and greater product and service innovation for people across Indonesia.
3. Consumers will benefit from improved network quality, broader coverage, competitive product offerings, and a faster 5G rollout.
