Batanghari is a regency of Jambi Province in Sumatra, Indonesia. It originally covered a wider area, but on 4 October 1999 this was split between a new Muaro Jambi Regency in the east (surrounding the city of Jambi) and a reduced Batang Hari Regency in the west, which now covers an area of 5,804.83 km2. It had a population of 241,334 at the 2010 census[2] and 301,700 at the 2020 census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 313,209 (comprising 160,228 males and 149,680 females).[1] The administrative capital is the town of Muara Bulian.
