【SMM Flash News】 Indonesia’s ESDM to Revise Nickel HPM Formula in April to Reflect Market Premiums

Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) is finalizing a review of the Nickel Mineral Benchmark Price (HPM) formula, aiming for implementation within April 2026. Director General of Minerals and Coal, Tri Winarno, stated that the current HPM no longer reflects actual transaction values, as it fails to account for the "market premiums" currently paid by smelters. The upcoming revision intends to incorporate these premiums as variables in royalty calculations, ensuring that state revenue accurately captures the full value of nickel sales and shifting the HPM from a mere "floor price" to a more representative market benchmark.
