Accelerating National Energy Self-Sufficiency, MIND ID Focuses on Value-Added Improvement

Jakarta – MIND ID, the state-owned holding company for Indonesian mining industries, has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the implementation of the National Energy Policy (KEN), particularly in achieving energy self-sufficiency to strengthen national sovereignty.

This commitment was demonstrated through the primary socialisation of Government Regulation (PP) No. 40 of 2025 concerning National Energy Policy, held by the National Energy Council (DEN) and MIND ID in Jakarta.

MIND ID Chief Executive Officer Maroef Sjamsoeddin emphasised that MIND ID is ready to play a strategic role in supporting the implementation of the KEN. Through integrated management of minerals and coal, as well as the development of various strategic projects by all members, MIND ID consistently supports national energy independence, resilience, and transition.

“Through today’s socialisation activity, the MIND ID Group reaffirms its commitment to support the implementation of Government Regulation Number 40 of 2025 by following the direction of the General National Energy Plan implementation,” said Maroef, as reported on Monday, 2 March 2026.

To support energy self-sufficiency, MIND ID, through PT Bukit Asam Tbk, has been managing coal resources and reserves optimally to continue supporting a long-term energy resilience agenda.

Bukit Asam manages coal reserves of approximately 2.88 billion tonnes and resources of 5.72 billion tonnes, and is proactively increasing production capacity through the development of Coal Handling Facilities (CHF) and Train Loading Stations (TLS) 6–7, which will add transport capacity of up to 20 million tonnes per year, with production targeted to increase from 43 million tonnes to more than 60 million tonnes per year.

In the downstream processing agenda, MIND ID and all members support the formation of an electric vehicle battery and energy storage industry ecosystem, which can realise a renewable energy industry ecosystem.

Strategic minerals such as nickel, copper, bauxite, and tin have been produced in raw material form ready for further processing by the manufacturing industry.

“We are not only focusing on optimising the production of minerals and coal, but also on increasing value-added through downstream processing, strengthening domestic supply chains, energy efficiency, and developing an industrial ecosystem based on cleaner and more sustainable energy,” added Maroef.
