Several prominent players in Indonesia’s mining sector are actively responding to the government’s new single-door export policy, which mandates all commodity exports to be channeled through the state-owned enterprise (SOE) PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI). This significant new regulation is scheduled to commence implementation in phases starting June 1, 2026, signaling a major shift in the country’s export landscape.
PT Bayan Resources Tbk (BYAN), a leading coal mining issuer, expressed its stance through Corporate Secretary Jenny Quantero. She affirmed that the company respects and supports the government’s initiative, which aims to strengthen the governance of natural resources. Quantero elaborated that BYAN is currently undertaking a comprehensive study and review of the policy to fully grasp its implementation mechanisms, as stated in an information disclosure to the Indonesia Stock Exchange on Friday, May 29, 2026.
As of now, Jenny confirmed that Bayan Resources has not yet formulated any specific corporate action plans directly related to this policy. Nevertheless, the coal giant is committed to regularly evaluating its operational and commercial strategies. This proactive approach is crucial to ensure continued compliance with prevailing regulations and to safeguard the long-term sustainability of its business operations.
Echoing a similar cautious sentiment, Bumi Resources (BUMI), a subsidiary of the Bakrie Group, also weighed in on the single-door export policy. Director Sri Dharmayanti noted that the company has not yet received the definitive government regulations concerning export governance. Consequently, BUMI is currently unable to comment on the specifics that will be outlined in the policy or to fully assess its potential impact on the company’s business endeavors.
Meanwhile, PT Amman Mineral Internasional Tbk (AMMN), through its President Director Arief Widyawan Sidarto, indicated that it is still premature for the company to provide a definitive response regarding the potential implications of the new export regulations. Sidarto emphasized that Amman Mineral is actively gathering information and meticulously evaluating the potential impacts of the proposed policy. This comprehensive assessment includes scrutinizing the scope of commodities to be regulated, the precise implementation mechanisms, transitional arrangements, and the potential effects on the company’s contractual relationships, operational strategies, and financing structures, as disclosed on Friday, May 29, 2026.
Earlier, Rohan Hafas, Managing Director of Stakeholders Management & Communications at Danantara Indonesia, clarified DSI’s role in this new framework. He stated that DSI will purchase commodities from domestic producers strictly according to market prices. Importantly, Hafas emphasized that DSI will not act as a price-setting seller or buyer, ensuring that market dynamics remain central to transactions.
Hafas further explained that DSI’s primary function is to serve as a transaction supervisor. Its crucial role is to ensure that trade occurs in adherence to proper market mechanisms, thereby preventing practices such as under-invoicing or under-pricing. “PT DSI will ensure that transactions proceed normally and that prices accurately reflect market values. The company’s function is on behalf of the government to prevent under-invoicing,” Rohan affirmed during a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
