Indralaya
District in South Sumatra, Indonesia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indralaya is a town and also an administrative district (kecamatan). The town serves as the capital of Ogan Ilir Regency in South Sumatra Province of Indonesia. This town is a satellite community of Palembang city at a distance of 31 km. Indralaya is also part of the Palembang metropolitan area,[3] which was designed by the central government to create the 10 New Jakarta areas.[4] This is also in line with the construction of the inner city Palembang–Indralaya (Palindra) Toll Road, which shortens the distance between Palembang and Indralaya, especially for easy access for Sriwijaya University students.[5]
