INDUSTRY

Coal output is estimated at 600mn tons in 2026 (vs. 790mn tons in 2025), marking a clear production cut. Meanwhile, nickel output will be adjusted to domestic industrial demand, although no specific volume target was disclosed. Bahlil also emphasized fair downstreaming, requiring large smelters to source nickel ore from domestic miners to avoid monopolistic practices and strengthen regional mining companies, while maintaining environmental sustainability.
