Nyoman said the numbers were just rough calculations. He could not confirm the exact budget because the process is still ongoing.

Nyoman said the exact budget for the construction of the palace at IKN will only be known after it is available detail engineering design (DED). He couldn’t say for sure when it would be finished.
However, he began to estimate the funds needed to be around Rp. 2 trillion. That figure he got from calculating the average cost of building a five-star hotel.

The State Palace will be built in the new nation’s capital, IKN Nusantara. The ring one complex will be built on 100 hectares of land.
