SMM News: recently, Chen Fang, deputy secretary of the party committee and president of Xiamen Xiangyu Group, described in detail the relevant situation of the Xiangyu Group's stainless steel smelting integration project in Indonesia. The construction of the project was relatively smooth. Double production of steel mills and nickel iron plants was realized in the first half of the year, and the project was fully put into production next year.

It is reported that the stainless steel smelting integration project built by Xiamen state-owned enterprise Xiangyu Group in Indonesia / Sulawesi Province is a large-scale comprehensive industrial park with an annual output of 2.5 million tons of stainless steel smelter, power plant, multi-function wharf and other facilities. China is the largest consumer of stainless steel in the world, while Indonesia is rich in stainless steel production raw material laterite nickel ore.

In order to graft and integrate the resources of the two places and develop together, the stainless steel smelting integration project of Xiangyu Group in Indonesia was officially started in 2017. After more than three years of construction, the industrial park has been partially put into production.

[SMM Nickel Market Flash] Indonesia RKEF Utilisation Drops to 76% on Ore Quota Cut; Govt Eyes $18-20K Nickel Range

Indonesia's RKEF smelter capacity utilisation has fallen to 76% from 84% in 2025 after the energy ministry cut the 2026 nickel ore quota to 260–270 million tonnes — below last year's 320 million tonnes output and FINI's demand estimate of 340–350 million tonnes. FINI chairman Arif Perdana Kusuma said several lines in South and Central Sulawesi are running below 50% capacity; smelters are holding minimal output rather than cold-shutting furnaces, which would take months to restart. A member of Indonesia's National Economic Council said the quota was needed to prevent a record surplus, and pointed to $18,000–$20,000/t as the government's target price corridor — cautioning that a significant overshoot above $20,000 would harm nickel end-users.

[SMM Nickel Market Flash] Chinese Nickel Majors Eye Africa and Pacific as Indonesia Policy Pressure Mounts

Leading Chinese nickel producers are scouting investment opportunities outside Indonesia as tightening policy conditions test the economics of their Indonesian operations. One major stainless steel group is considering a large-scale industrial park in Madagascar covering nickel and other minerals, inspired by its Indonesian model, while a major HPAL operator is in talks to acquire a stake in an undeveloped nickel sulphide project in Tanzania and has made an offer for a stake in an idled nickel operation in New Caledonia. If completed, these would be the first nickel investments outside Indonesia for both groups. Madagascar lifted a 16-year moratorium on new mining permits in January, though it is currently under a transitional military government following a coup last year.
