Karangtengah (or Central Karang) is a town and an administrative district (kecamatan) of Tangerang City, in Banten Province of Indonesia, on the island of Java (not to be confused with other districts of the same name in Garut Regency, Cianjur Regency, Wonogiri Regency and Demak Regency). The district covers an area of 10.47 km2, and had a population of 118,473 at the 2010 Census[2] and 117,721 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 117,440.[1]

Karangtengah is on the brink of a transformative journey with the announcement of the future MRT Jakarta Phase 3, connecting Cikarang to Balaraja. This monumental project promises to usher in a new era of connectivity, convenience, and economic growth for this community. MRT Jakarta Phase 3 will be built in August 2024.
