PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) released its operational performance for Q3 2025. As of the end of September 2025, PTBA recorded coal production of 35.9 million tons.
That figure rose 9% compared with the same period in 2024, which was 32.97 million tons.
1. Significant contribution from subsidiaries
This production achievement was supported by increased contribution from its mining services subsidiary, PT Satria Bahana Sarana, which accounted for 21% of the Company’s total output.
The stripping ratio realized over the period was recorded at 5.98x.
2. Coal sales up 8%
On the sales side, coal volume reached 33.7 million tons, up 8% year on year (yoy) from 31.28 million tons in the same period last year. Of the total, 56% was absorbed by the domestic market, with the remainder exported.
“This increase in sales performance demonstrates the continued strength of market demand for PTBA’s coal,” said PTBA Corporate Secretary Division Head, Eko Prayitno, in an official statement on Monday (Oct 20, 2025).
3. Coal hauling performance up 8%
In line with higher production and sales, coal transported through Q3 2025 reached 30.02 million tons, up 8% from 27.83 million tons in the same period last year.
PTBA stated that a recovery in global coal prices has begun to emerge, reflected in the strengthening trend of the ICI index from mid-Q3 to early Q4 2025.
“Backed by this momentum and our ongoing performance growth and efficiency measures, PTBA is confident that these solid operational results can offset the pressure from weaker coal prices during Q3 2025,” Eko said.
