"We will certainly give bonuses for those who won gold to bronze," he said here on Tuesday.
Widodo remarked that gold medalists will receive Rp6 billion, or around US$378 thousand, an increase from the Rp5.5 billion provided earlier.
The Indonesia contingent ranked 39th in the final standings of the 2024 Paris Olympics, winning two gold medals and one bronze.
Rock climbing and weightlifting athletes contributed two gold medals.
Veddriq Leonardo scaled to victory to win the men's Speed gold in sport climbing.
Rizki Juniansyah clinched gold after competing in the men's weightlifting 73 kg class, in which lifters from other countries failed to exceed his total weight.
Indonesia secured its first medal in badminton, with Gregoria Mariska Tunjung winning a bronze in the women's singles.
At the Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday, Veddriq Leonardo and Rizki Juniansyah appeared in the Indonesian team defile in jackets and pants designed by famous designer Didit Hediprasetyo.
Juniansyah also became the Indonesian flag bearer at the closing ceremony.
Meanwhile, the Indonesian National Olympic Committee (KOI) said it looks forward to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
KOI Chairman Raja Sapta Oktohari expressed gratitude for the Indonesian team's results in Paris. He is optimistic about players from other sports qualifying for the 2028 Olympics.
"The (Paris) Olympics have come to an end. I praise the athletes, sports management, the government, and all of the supporting systems," he stated on August 12.
He explained that the 32-year wait for winning two golds in sports branches apart from badminton is a significant change.
"This means that Indonesia's sports (achievements) are getting bigger and (it is) respected not only in badminton but also (in other sports) other than badminton," he noted.
