The CP 108 contract for the procurement of the Jakarta MRT rolling stock was awarded to the Sumitomo Corporation - Nippon Sharyo consortium on 3 March 2015.

[17] The Ratangga series was first fully operated in conjunction with the inauguration of the Jakarta MRT North-South Line on 24 March 2019.

The name Ratangga after deliberations between PT MRT Jakarta and the Ministry of Education and Culture's Language Agency.

The name Ratangga is taken from the Arjuna Wiwaha and Sutasoma books by Mpu Tantular.

The choice of the chariot naming, synonymous with a strong and dynamic horse-drawn carriage, is expected to symbolize a prayer for the smooth operation of the Jakarta MRT.

[24] The Ratangga and part of the North-South MRT Line tunnel are featured on the front of the Rp75,000 design.

The electric railway train is placed just below the images of Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta and next to the Youtefa Bridge and the Rp75,000 currency value text.

The Ratangga train is included in the design to symbolise the achievement of infrastructure development in the 75 years of the Republic of Indonesia.
