Indonesia mining service regulation changes

Overview

The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) issued Decree No. 365/2026, mandating that holders of Mining Business Licenses (IUP) and Special Mining Business Licenses (IUPK) prioritize local mining service companies located within the regencies or cities surrounding their operations.

The decree generally prohibits mining companies from using their own subsidiaries or affiliates for these services without explicit ministerial approval, though exceptions may apply to national strategic projects or mineral processing facility developments. While the Institut Rakyat Indonesia (IRI) suggested the move would promote regional growth and prevent monopolies, analysts from Stockbit Sekuritas noted it could create policy uncertainty for large mining groups with integrated operations.

Following this, the Indonesian Coal Mining Association (APBI) began reviewing these regulations regarding the prioritization of local service contractors. Additionally, Indonesia Resources Studies (IRESS) has called for the government to separate private smelter coal supplies from Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) calculations to protect public electricity supplies.
