The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) updated its 2026 coal production target to 733 million tonnes, up from earlier estimates of a 600 million tonne cap. The revision aims to balance global supply security with price stability as Southeast Asian demand for industrial coal remains high.
