        "summary": "The Indonesian government is tightening supervision of the Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) policy, mandating miners to supply 212 million metric tons of coal locally in 2026, with the bulk reserved for PLN's power plants. Officials are pressing PLN's supply arm to finalise contracts and resolve logistical issues to ensure timely deliveries. The move underscores Jakarta's focus on securing domestic energy supply ahead of export commitments.",
