PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTM) has expressed its readiness to support the government’s single-gate export policy under the supervision of PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI). Ferroalloys—one of three strategic natural resource commodities designated for export monitoring through DSI—are among the products affected by the new mechanism.
Antam Corporate Secretary Wisnu Danandi Haryanto said the company produces ferroalloys in the form of ferronickel (FeNi). The product is manufactured at Antam’s nickel processing and refining facilities (smelters) operated by its Nickel Mining Business Unit (UBPN) in Kolaka and Pomalaa, Southeast Sulawesi.
For 2026, Antam has set a ferronickel production target of approximately 18,000 tonnes of nickel contained in ferronickel (tNi). At present, the majority of the company’s ferronickel output is sold to export markets, primarily China, South Korea, and India, as well as several European countries in smaller volumes.
“In principle, Antam supports the Government’s efforts to strengthen the governance of trade and exports of Indonesia’s strategic commodities, including policies aimed at improving efficiency, transparency, and the competitiveness of the country’s exports. Fundamentally, Antam has no objection to the policy,” Wisnu told Kontan.co.id on Tuesday (June 2, 2026).
Wisnu noted that Antam’s ferronickel exports have so far been conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including licensing requirements and export governance provisions established by the Government. Consequently, the company is prepared to adjust its export procedures in line with the new policy framework.
He emphasized that any adjustments would be implemented while safeguarding operational continuity, maintaining strong customer relationships, and supporting national efforts to enhance value-added processing and strengthen Indonesia’s export competitiveness.
Wisnu added that Antam’s business remains overwhelmingly focused on the domestic market. “Approximately 97% of Antam’s sales are directed to the domestic market, meaning the company’s export share remains relatively limited,” he said.
As previously reported, the Government has begun implementing a new reporting mechanism for exports of three strategic natural resource commodities: coal, palm oil, and ferroalloys. The transition period commenced on Monday, June 1, 2026.
Under the policy, exporters are required to report their export activities for these commodities to DSI. The transition phase will remain in effect until the Government conducts an evaluation after the first three months of implementation.
The results of that evaluation will serve as the basis for the next stage of the program. The Government aims to fully implement the DSI-supervised export mechanism no later than January 1, 2027.
