Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) and Parliament's Commission XII focused today's discussions on the procedures and requirements for supplementary 2026 nickel RKAB applications, rather than announcing any increase in the national nickel mining quota. Applications for additional quotas can only be submitted from 1-31 July 2026, with approvals to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Any additional mining quotas are expected to prioritize miners with integrated domestic smelting capacity, while the final volume of supplementary allocations remains under review.
