Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) will require all mineral and coal mining companies in Indonesia to submit their Work Plans and Budgets (RKAB) through a new integrated digital platform, MinerbaOne, starting October 1, 2025.
Tri Winarno, Director General of Minerals and Coal at the Ministry of ESDM, stated that the RKAB submission module within MinerbaOne will be launched once the relevant ministerial regulation is officially issued.
“We are currently conducting outreach to mineral and coal mining license holders,” Tri said during the MinerbaOne Application Implementation Outreach, broadcast online on Thursday, September 25, 2025.
He explained that the outreach activities are currently focused on account registration, completion of Feasibility Studies (FS), and Environmental Impact Assessments (AMDAL), to ensure a smooth transition once the RKAB module becomes active.
“Our hope is that by October 1, MinerbaOne will be fully operational for both mining companies and us (the Directorate General) to use for submitting 2026 RKABs,” he said.

Mining companies that have already received RKAB approval will still be required to resubmit their 2026 RKAB through MinerbaOne.
According to Tri, the presence of MinerbaOne can serve as one of the initial steps toward digital transformation of licensing, especially in the mineral and coal sector.
MinerbaOne will integrate various existing systems such as MODI (Minerba One Data Indonesia), EPNBP (Electronic Non-Tax State Revenue), and MOMS (Minerba Online Monitoring System). “The hope is that with MinerbaOne, the licensing process under the Directorate General of Minerals and Coal will run smoothly, unlike in previous years,” he said.
Tri added that merging into an integrated system is inevitable, particularly since the number of RKAB documents that must be processed each year reaches around 2,000.
“With this system, it is expected that the services at the Directorate General of Minerals and Coal can be completed faster, more prudently, and more accurately,” he said.
