Indonesia has approved coal miners' 2026 Work Plans and Budgets (RKAB) covering nearly 400 million tonnes, though the process remains incomplete, according to the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

The ministry aims to finalize all approvals by the end of March, said Tri Winarno, Director General of Minerals and Coal, as cited by local media on March 17. Indonesia plans to cap coal output at around 600 million tonnes in 2026, down from 790 million tonnes produced in 2025,
