Indonesia

Former Saikyo Line 10-car set HaE 26 on a commuter service in Jakarta, September 2014

Eighteen ten-car 205 series EMU sets (180 vehicles), formerly used on Saikyo Line and Kawagoe Line services, were donated to KA Commuter Jabodetabek (KCJ) in Jakarta, Indonesia, in 2013, entering service from March 2014.[8] The sets in use are former Kawagoe sets 1, 4, 7, 11 to 15, 18, 20, 22 to 26, and 30 to 32. All except sets 26, 30, and 32 include pairs of SaHa 204 cars with six pairs of doors per side.[8] Sets 30 to 32 were originally Yamanote Line sets, distinguished by their smaller door windows.[8] Set 23 has a pair of LCD screens inside all cars except SaHa 204 cars.

From July 2014, a total of 176 cars from withdrawn Yokohama Line eight-car sets were shipped to Jakarta.[9] The sets in use are former Kamakura sets H1, H2, H4, H6 to H9, H11 to H15, H17 to H19, H21 to H25, H27, and H28. All except set H28 include a SaHa 204 car with six pairs of doors per side.[10]

In 2015, a total of 120 cars from withdrawn Nambu Line six-car sets will be shipped to Jakarta.[11] The first 30 units (five sets) arrived in Jakarta on 3 July 2015,[12] and were tested few days later in 6+6-car formations. The first five sets are former Nakahara sets 2, 4, 8, 35, and 44.[10] The second 24 units (four sets) arrived in Jakarta on 5 August 2015, and these second four sets are former Nakahara sets 7, 11, 40, and 41. These former Nambu Line sets are intended for 12-car operations.[13] On 11 September 2015, set 11 accidentally debuted as a substitute set for broken locally made i9000 train, and serving feeder route from Manggarai to Duri, still with its original six-car formation.[14] The 12-car formation itself debuted on 16 September 2015.[15]
