        "summary": "State-owned coal miner PT Bukit Asam (PTBA) has expressed support for the government's plan to revise the Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) coal price, which has remained at US$70 per tonne since 2017. The company argues the price no longer reflects current production costs and that an increase would positively impact its revenue and profitability. PTBA supplies nearly half of its assigned 2026 domestic coal volume to power generators like PLN and independent power producers.",
        "content": "<p>PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) has welcomed the government\u2019s plan to revise\nthe Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) coal price, currently set at US$70\nper tonne for the electricity sector. \u201cAs a State-Owned Enterprise (SOE)\nand a publicly listed company, PTBA in principle welcomes the\ngovernment\u2019s plan to review and raise the DMO coal price,\u201d said PT Bukit\nAsam (Persero) Tbk Corporate Secretary Division Head Eko Prayitno when\ncontacted in Jakarta on Tuesday (9\/6\/2026). The DMO coal price for the\nelectricity sector has remained unchanged at US$70 per tonne since 2017.\nAccording to Eko, this price requires a review given that production\ncosts have evolved over recent years. From a financial performance\nperspective, Eko continued, PTBA views the DMO price increase as having\nthe potential to positively impact the company\u2019s revenue and\nprofitability. As one of the main coal suppliers for domestic needs,\nparticularly for power plants, PTBA sells a portion of its production at\nthe DMO price, which is lower than the market price. As of May 2026,\nPTBA had supplied coal for national electricity provision to entities\nsuch as PT PLN (Persero) and independent power producers (IPPs),\namounting to approximately 48 percent of its total assignment for the\nfull year 2026. \u201cIf the DMO price is adjusted to current production\ncosts, the company\u2019s average selling price (ASP) will increase, thereby\nimproving profit margins and supporting the company\u2019s revenue growth,\u201d\nEko stated.<\/p>",
