The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) recorded that coal production from January to June 2025, or the first semester of 2025, reached 371.66 million tons. This figure represents an 8.47% decrease compared to the first semester of 2024.
Citing data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources' Minerba One Data Indonesia (MODI), national coal production in the first semester of 2024 reached 406.06 million tons.
In addition to coal production, the volume of coal exports per Semester I-2025 was recorded at 185.98 million tons or 6.13% lower compared to the same period in 2024, which reached 198.13 million tons.
Previously, the Director General of Minerals and Coal (Dirjen Minerba) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Tri Winarno, predicted that national coal production in 2025 would be lower compared to last year.
"But the point is, we haven't met the target yet. Hopefully, we'll meet the annual target. However, compared to last year, there has been a decline," Tri said at the Indonesian House of Representatives Building in Jakarta on Monday (July 14, 2025).
Despite the projected decline, he said coal production is still projected to reach over 700 million tons by the end of 2025. "But above 700 (million tons)," he added.
As is known, Indonesian coal production in 2024 reached 836 million tons. This is a new record, following the previous year, when Indonesian coal production reached a record high of 775 million tons.
Indonesia's coal production in 2024 also exceeded the target, amounting to 117% of the 2024 target of 710 million tons. Meanwhile, Indonesia's coal production target for 2025 is 735 million tons, lower than the 2024 production target.
