UPDATE: Indonesia's ESDM clarifies 733 Mt coal output as initial figure in earlier plan

The reported 733 million-tonne coal production target for 2026 is an initial figure stated in a strategic work plan prior to the consideration of production cuts announced in early January, not an adjusted national target, according to the latest explanation from Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM).

Mysteel's earlier report cited Bloomberg and remarks by Siti Sumilah Rita Susilawati, Secretary to the Director General of Minerals and Coal at ESDM, indicating a potential 2026 production target of 733 million tonnes. This figure was interpreted as an upward revision from the previously discussed level of around 600 million
