Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) is confident that non-tax state revenue (PNBP) from the mineral and coal (minerba) sector will reach the 2025 target of Rp124.7 trillion.
“We have already reached around Rp120 trillion, or 96 percent,” said Totoh Abdul Fatah, Director of Mineral and Coal Revenue at the ESDM Ministry, on the sidelines of the “Brown to Green Conference” in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Totoh explained that the Rp120 trillion figure reflects preliminary collections including early December, while official minerba PNBP from January through November stood at Rp117.26 trillion. “On average, monthly minerba revenue is between Rp10 trillion and Rp11 trillion. To hit the target, we only need about Rp4 trillion more,” he said.
Given the current pace, Totoh expressed confidence that the 2025 state budget target for minerba PNBP is within reach. “Next year’s target has already been set—around Rp130 trillion,” he added.

Coal continues to dominate minerba revenue, contributing Rp81.3 trillion as of November, or 69.41 percent of the total. Nickel followed with Rp16.65 trillion (14.2 percent), then gold at Rp8.22 trillion (7.01 percent) and copper at Rp7.61 trillion (6.50 percent). Tin contributed Rp1.75 trillion (1.49 percent), bauxite Rp743.7 billion (0.63 percent), silver Rp156.2 billion (0.13 percent), other commodities Rp95.5 billion (0.08 percent), and fixed fees Rp632.8 billion.
“So where does most of the revenue come from? Sixty-nine percent of minerba PNBP comes from coal. Coal is still the largest contributor, followed by nickel, gold, copper, and others,” Totoh said.
Meanwhile, ESDM Director General of Mineral and Coal Tri Winarno said the government is considering a reduction in coal production to help stabilize international coal prices, which have been trending downward. The Indonesia coal reference price (HBA) for early December slipped to US$98.26 per ton, from US$102.03 per ton in mid-November. The price is also lower than the November 2024 level of US$114.43 per ton.
To support price recovery, Indonesia plans to curb coal output. However, Tri emphasized that any reduction will not affect domestic supply for priority industries.
