Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Yuliot Tanjung said the Ministerial Regulation (Permen) regarding changes to the mining work plan and budget (RKAB) to once a year, will be completed in early September 2025.
Yuliot added that, after the revised Permen is issued, mining business actors can immediately submit their latest RKAB for 2026.
"It is expected that the regulation will be issued in the first week of September. So by the end of September, businesses should be able to submit their new RKAB for 2026," Yuliot said when met at the ESDM Office on Friday (August 15).
Meanwhile, regarding data adjustments, Yuliot said the Ministry of ESDM has used an integrated system recorded in the Data and Information Technology Center (Pusdatin) and the electronic system from the Indonesia National Single Window (INSW).
"I have checked the data and also the readiness of the system at Pusdatin, in Cikini. We have also mapped it, I have also spoken with the team from the INSW institution to see our system, " he added.
Previously, the schedule for submitting a new RKAB had been revealed by the Director General of Mineral and Coal (Minerba), Tri Winarno. He stated that mining companies would need to begin submitting their RKABs for 2026 starting in October 2025.
"Yes, they will have to submit again, in October (2025)," Tri said when met at the ESDM Ministry office in Jakarta, Tuesday (July 22).
Tri also emphasized that companies must submit a new RKAB from scratch, even if they are still within the valid period of the previously approved three-year RKAB.
"They’ll have to repeat the process - start over for the 2026 RKAB," he added.
Regarding this regulatory change, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia has confirmed that the RKAB policy will be effective annually starting next year.
"I guarantee it will be implemented next year," Bahlil said when met at the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) on Monday (July 14).
Bahlil also asserted that there is no reason to doubt the ministry’s readiness to implement the new policy.
"In terms of systems and human resources, we are prepared. There’s no need to question whether we’re capable or not - it’s our responsibility. This has already been decided through a meeting with Commission XII," he added.
