The railway industry was began in 1864 when Namlooze Venootschap Nederlanche Spoorweg Indische Maatschappij commenced construction of a railway from Semarang to Surakarta, Central Java. Three other companies started to invest in building railway lines inside and outside Java ever since. The three companies that firstly involved in the railway industry were Staat Spoorwegen, Verenigde Spoorwegenbedrifj and Deli Spoorwegen Maatscappij.
After the Proclamation of Independence, Djawatan Kereta Api Repoeblik Indonesia (Railway Department of the Republic of Indonesia or DKARI) was established on September 28, 1945. Establishment date of DKARI is then commemorated as the National Train Day.
On May 25, 1963, Government of Republic of Indonesia issued Government Regulation No. 22 of 1963 to establish Perusahaan Negara Kereta Api (PNKA). Furthermore, on September 15, 1997, based on Government Regulation No. 61 of 1971, PNKA was turned into Perusahaan Jawatan Kereta Api (PJKA). With the status as a State Company and Public Service Agency, the Company formerly served public with subsidy funds from the Government.
Railway management embraced a new era when PJKA was turned into Perusahaan Umum Kereta Api (Perumka) pursuant to Government Regulation No. 57 of 1990. With the new status as a Perusahaan Umum (Perum) company, Perumka provided public services while also earned profit from the provided products and services. In terms of passenger’s services, Perumka offered three classes of service, such as: executive, business and economy classes.
On July 31, 1995, Perumka launched executive-class passenger train service with brand of Argo Bromo JS-950 Train brand that was further developed into Argo Bromo Anggrek Train (KA), which is operated since September 24, 1997. The operations of KA Argo Bromo Anggrek initiated development of other Argo brands, such as: Argo Lawu, Argo Mulia and Argo Parahyangan.
To encourage Perumka towards a service company, on February 3, 1998, the Government issued Government Regulation No. 19, 1998 concerning Transformation of Perusahaan Umum (Perum) Kereta Api into a Perusahaan Perseroan (Limited Company). Therefore, the name was altered into Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Kereta Api, or known as PT Kereta Api (Persero) or PT KA. With the new status, the Company is operated as a profit-oriented business entity. To keep exercising part of the mission as a public service organization, the Government provided Public Service Obligation (PSO) funds.
Based on Approval of the Minister of Law and Human Rights No. RI. AHU-AH.01-16788 dated October 5, 2009, Board of Directors of PT Kereta Api (Persero) issued Instruction of Board of Directors No. 16/OT.203/KA-2010 concerning the change of name of PT Kereta Api (Persero) to PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI, effective since May 11, 2010.

The issuance of Kereta Api Indonesia Bonds I of 2017 received a great response from the public and investors. This success has motivated KAI to work harder to fulfill public expectations on the Company’s service excellence and performance.
