ASIATODAY.ID, JAKARTA – The Government of Indonesia, through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), has officially suspended the licenses of 190 mineral and coal (minerba) mining companies across various regions.
This decisive action was taken after the companies were found to have violated their approved Work Plan and Budget (RKAB) and failed to fulfill their obligations on reclamation and post-mining guarantees.
Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Yuliot Tanjung stated that the suspension of operations was the result of a comprehensive evaluation conducted by the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal (Minerba).
“Some companies were producing far beyond the RKAB that had been approved. This is part of a thorough evaluation by the Directorate General of Minerba,” he emphasized on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
According to Yuliot, mining operations should not face any issues as long as companies comply with licensing requirements and operate within their approved work plans.
Legal Basis and Sanction Process
The suspension is outlined in Directorate General of Minerba Letter No. T-1533/MB.07/DJB.T/2025, dated September 18, 2025. It follows a series of prior administrative warnings:
First Warning (December 2024)
Second Warning (May 2025)
Third Warning (August 2025)
The legal foundation for this action is Government Regulation (PP) No. 78/2010 on Reclamation and Post-Mining and Ministerial Regulation (Permen ESDM) No. 26/2018 on Good Mining Practices.
If companies continue to ignore their obligations, sanctions may escalate to permanent license revocation. However, during the suspension period, companies remain responsible for maintaining and managing their mining environment.

Strong Commitment to Compliance
The ESDM stressed that the sanctions are not only administrative enforcement but also a clear demonstration of the government’s commitment to upholding good mining practices and ensuring environmental sustainability.
“Once companies place reclamation guarantees in line with regulations, the suspension will automatically be lifted. But if they continue to ignore their obligations, their licenses may be permanently revoked,” the Directorate General of Minerba declared.
With this move, the government aims to strengthen compliance across Indonesia’s mining industry while ensuring proper environmental management in post-mining activities. (AT Network)
