JAKARTA - MMS Resources (MMSR), one of the business pillars of MMS Group Indonesia (MSGI), again shows its active role in supporting the sustainability of the national mining industry by participating in the Indonesia Miner 2025 event at the Westin Hotel, Jakarta, on Thursday, June 12.
In a strategic forum that brought together the coal industry players, Muhamad Saly Putra, MMS Resources' Head of Marketing, appeared as a panelist and shared MMSR's views on the current dynamics of the Indonesian coal sector.
He highlighted the mandate of using B40 as mining operational fuel as well as the challenge of implementing the Reference Coal Price (HBA) as a reference for selling prices, which are considered to bring significant changes in commercial practice, mainly due to disparities between HBA and actual market prices that have an impact on profit margins and an effective increase in royalties.
Despite the increasing cost pressure, MMSR still believes that Indonesia still holds a strategic position in the export market, thanks to its geographical closeness to countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines, and Bangladesh, as well as neutral positions in global geopolitical that make Indonesia a reliable trading partner. With the current coal reserves, operational efficiency and adaptation to market needs are the key to sustainable competitiveness.
"Indonesia's strategic advantages are very clear; our geographical closeness to key markets such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Bangladesh, especially in areas with developing infrastructure, as well as our geopolitical neutral positions make Indonesia a trusted partner. We believe that these advantages will continue to be relevant, especially if we continue to focus on operational efficiency and adaptability to dynamic market demand," said Saly.
Responding to the direction of future production, MMSR said that the company has an operational capacity that allows flexibility in responding to market recovery. The future focus is directed at coal products that are more economical and can be adjusted to customer needs, in order to ensure cost efficiency and operational agility.
