The line is part of Tanah Abang–
Rangkasbitung line, built by the Dutch Public Works Bureau
(Burgerlijke Openbare Werken/BOW, now
Ministry of Public Works) by decree of the Governor General as stipulated in the State Gazette (Staatsblad) No. 180 dated July 15, 1896. BOW constructed
Batavia Zuid–
Duri line with branches to
Tangerang and
Rangkasbitung–
Anyer Kidul. The line between Tanah Abang and Rangkasbitung was formally opened on 1 October 1899. The track between
Tanah Abang and
Serpong was electrified in 1991 and completed in 1992. In 2009, railway track between Serpong and
Parungpanjang has been fully electrified. Tanah Abang–Parungpanjang was the original route of Green Line when it began operation in 2011. Green Line was extended to
Maja in 2013. Further extension to
Rangkasbitung is operational by 1 April 2017. Starting on February 2021, all trains starting/ending at Maja station were moved to Tigaraksa station, due to more tracks available at Tigaraksa for idle trains. In June 2025, there were plans to extend the line to Serang and eventually Merak == Route patterns ==
