【SMM Nickel Flash】Bahlil Appointed Coordinating Minister for Downstreaming and Energy Transition, Retaining ESDM Post
On October 1, 2026, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto appointed Bahlil Lahadalia as Coordinating Minister for Downstreaming and Energy Transition, while he continues to serve as Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM). The appointment places downstream industrial development and energy transition coordination under Bahlil alongside his existing responsibilities for Indonesia’s energy and mineral resources sector. For the nickel industry, the development is relevant to monitoring the government’s direction on nickel ore production quotas (RKAB), mining regulations, and downstream processing investment. The impact on nickel supply, permitting, and policy implementation will depend on subsequent government decisions and regulatory measures.
