【SMM Nickel Flash News】 ESDM's Statement of RKAB Revision Rules Amid APNI’s 30% Increase Claim

Tri Winarno, the Director General of Minerals and Coal (Dirjen Minerba) at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), stated on March 3, 2026, that nickel mining companies are permitted to revise their Production Quotas (RKAB) for 2026. Responding to APNI's claim that a potential 30% increase could occur via July revisions, Tri emphasized that while revisions are allowed under existing regulations, the specific percentage granted will depend on individual company needs and evaluations. These revisions are scheduled to take place in the second half of 2026 (H2 2026), consistent with standard regulatory cycles rather than a specific emergency measure following the recent quota cuts to 260–270 million tons.
