        "summary": "The Indonesian government is promoting electrification in the mining sector not only as a technological upgrade but also to bolster domestic industry, particularly in component production for electric vehicles, as stated by Solehan from the Ministry of Industry. This initiative aims to enhance the value of natural resources like nickel, integrate Indonesia into the global EV supply chain, and foster sustainable industrial growth while reducing emissions and creating jobs. By building a comprehensive ecosystem from upstream to downstream, the strategy seeks to position Indonesia competitively in the international market for high-value products.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The government is encouraging\nelectrification in the mining sector to extend beyond mere technology\nadoption and to simultaneously strengthen the domestic industry.\nDirector of the Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Industry (IPAMP) at\nthe Ministry of Industry, Solehan, emphasised that the mining sector\nholds a strategic position in the national economy, including in driving\nindustrialisation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn that context, the government positions itself as a regulator and\nfacilitator to support the gradual and sustainable acceleration of\nelectrification,\u201d he said during the EV Transition in Mining Industry\nOutlook 2026, organised by CNBC Indonesia on Wednesday (29\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The development of an electric vehicle ecosystem in the mining sector\nmust be comprehensive. This includes not only the use of equipment but\nalso component production and the industrial ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>This effort forms part of the government\u2019s broader strategy to\nincrease the added value of natural resources. Consequently, mining\noutputs will not only be exported in raw form but processed into\nhigh-value products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe policy focus is not solely on replacing heavy equipment based on\ninternal combustion engines (ICE) with electric versions, but also on\nbuilding the ecosystem itself to support operational efficiency,\nemission reduction, and increased competitiveness of the domestic mining\nsector,\u201d said Solehan.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia itself has significant advantages in resources,\nparticularly nickel, which is the main material for electric vehicle\nbatteries. This potential is seen as a crucial asset for entering the\nglobal supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>Solehan assessed that this opportunity must be seized so that\nIndonesia does not lag behind in the global electric vehicle industry\ndevelopment. Moreover, global demand for batteries continues to\nrise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, this means Indonesia is starting to have a strong opportunity\nin developing the supply chain for those components, including\nbatteries. Here we have nickel, so then NMC \u2013 Nickel Manganese Cobalt \u2013\nthat needs to be downstreamed,\u201d said Solehan.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, developing the battery and electric heavy equipment\ncomponent industries can drive domestic manufacturing growth. This also\nhas the potential to create new job opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Strengthening the industry from upstream to downstream is necessary\nfor Indonesia to compete in the global market. With an integrated\necosystem, mining electrification can deliver broader economic\nimpacts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis indeed becomes an important asset so that electrification in\nthe mining sector does not just become a technology user or adopter, but\nalso drives the growth of the domestic manufacturing industry itself,\u201d\nsaid Solehan.<\/p>",
