China government Vs Prices From
15 COAL PRICE
“The Media”
15
APBI said the increase in coal price was caused by
16 COAL PRICE several factors such economic recovery in some major
coal importing countries, cooler winter in northern part of
the world, and high rainfall and high swells in Indonesia
and also cyclone weather in Australia. APBI also said that
the high tension between China and Australia has also
contribute to increasing coal demand and price. APBI
predicted that the price rally will continue until mid-2021,
which will be driven by sentiment on vaccines availabilities
together with increasing demand from importing countries
and also discipline to limit output in producing countries
. Indika said the increase price was caused by recoveries
in coal demand both in export and domestic markets
as coal still has higher share in the energy mix. Bumi
Resources expected the increase coal price will continue
until first quarter of 2021, which will affect in increasing
its production from KPC and Arutmin mines.
23
COAL ESDM Production
24 PRODUCTION
24
COAL decrease in coal price has forced these miners to lower
25 PRODUCTION
or even halt production as their mining costs were higher
than selling price.
Coal Production Quota
by Province in 2021 ESDM said that realized government income from the
coal and mineral sectors until first week of December
2020 was IDR 32.93 trillion, which was IDR 1.5 trillion
above the government revised income target in 2020,
which happened as ESDM was able to increase efficiency
in collecting royalties through its e-PNBP system. But, IKI
notes that The Indonesia government said income from
royalties in coal and mineral sectors until end of November
2020 was IDR 18.94 trillion or accounted for 97.87% of
the government target in 2020 as the effect of increasing
HBA in the past two months and rising gold prices,
and also higher income from nickel sector. However,
the government’s income from coal and mineral sales
in the same period fell 26.63% y-o-y or only IDR 11.01
trillion due to lower coal sales as the effect of Covid-19
pandemic.
26
COAL IKI found out that ESDM’s coal production target in 2021
27 PRODUCTION of 550.0 Mt may have come from its prediction of low case
scenario with the assumption of decreasing coal demand
Coal Production Quota in the export market due to importing countries policies to
by Province in 2021
reduce power production from coal plants coupled with
policies in China and India to utilize their own domestic
coal production. However, IKI finds ESDM’s target of
13.0% y-o-y increase in the state non-tax revenue (PNBP)
from the coal and miner sector to be in contrast with
its coal production target. Even assuming an increase
in coal price in 2021, it will be quite challenging for the
government to get PNBP income of IDR 39.1 trillion as IKI
thinks the coal sector is still the largest contributor to the
PNBP than other mining commodities, which leads IKI to
conclude that the government will revise its production
target in 2021, and IKI’s conclusion is also supported
by the coal mining industry players as IKI quoted in our
market news below:
Market News
27
COAL • Central Kalimantan provincial government said mining
28 PRODUCTION royalty revenue in the province in January – November
2020 totaled IDR 1.5 trillion which was IDR 0.5 trillion
Coal Production Quota higher than its target of IDR 0.98 trillion, due to better
by Province in 2021
weather condition which has allowed for higher
shipment and sales volume of coal and iron ore.
• Bumi Resources said the company’s coal production
in 2020 was estimated at 83.0 Mt – 85.0 Mt or about
the same with production in 2019 as the company was
able to reduce its cost in a low price situation due to
Covid-19. Bumi also said it’s targeting production in
2021 of around 85.0 Mt – 90.0 Mt with expectation of
higher coal demand in 2021 due to vaccine availabilities
and reduced geo-political tension with the result of the
US presidential election, and the company also said
it plans to focus on increasing coal sales to domestic
markets.
• Bayan Resources has set coal production target in
2021 of 32.0 Mt – 34.0 Mt, which is an increase by
almost 4.0 Mt than production in 2020, of which 26.8
Mt – 27.8 Mt will be produced from its Bara Tabang
mines, from TSA/FKP mines at 3.0 Mt – 3.4 Mt, Wahana
mines 1.2 Mt – 1.6 Mt and PIK mine will produce 1.0
Mt – 1.2 Mt. Bayan also claimed that within January
2021 the company has secured coal sales of around
27.2 Mt for its 4,500 GCV with 25% of the total sales
are based on fixed price or US$ 36.0/t, while 75% will
be using index prices
• ABM Investama is targeting coal production from
its mines in Aceh and South Kalimantan in 2021 to
reach around 13.0 Mt or an increase by 13% than
its target in 2020 as it predicted coal demand from
major importing countries like China, India, Viet Nam,
Malaysia and Philippine will increase due to the global
economic recovery and the vaccines availability will
give positive sentiments to coal price.
• Golden Eagle Energy said its coal production and sales
in the first 9 months of 2020 was 0.88 Kt and 0.87 Kt
or decreased respectively by 36.0% and 38.0% y-o-y
as the effect of Covid-19, and expected overall coal
production in 2020 to reach 1.3 Mt or only 82% of its
28
COAL initial target for the year. The company also said its
29 PRODUCTION production target in 2021 is 2.0 Mt or an increase of
15.0% y-o-y, and the company will be focusing on
Coal Production Quota selling its coal to the domestic market especially to
by Province in 2021
power plants and in order to reduce the effect of price
volatilities, the company will make its price mechanism
based on spot price and HBA.
• PTT of Thailand said the company plans to close
permanently three coal companies this year, which
are under the control of Sakari Resources. The three
companies are Reyka Wahana Digdjaya Pte. Ltd which
is engaged in coal business investment and based in
Singapore, Sakari Energy Pte. Ltd based in Singapore
also engaged in coal investment, and PT. Tri Tunggal
Lestari Bersama which is based in Indonesia with
business line in the port sector. PTT said the closure
of these three companies has been approved in the
board meeting.
• PT United Tractor said its coal production target from
the mining contractor business in 2021 will be likely
same with its 2020 target of around 110.0 Mt in the high
case scenario, but in the best case scenario production
may decrease by 5.0% y-o-y with the assumption
there are no demand to increase production from
its clients. But the company has prepared capex of
around US$ 290.0 million in 2021 or a jump by almost
US$ 100.0 million from realized capex in 2020 and will
be used primarily for heavy equipment refurbihsment.
• Delta Dunia Makmur, a mining contractors, said it’s
prepared capex of around US$ 100 million in 2021 or
increasing by almost four times than realized capex
in 2020 as the company is optimistic that its coal
production in 2021 will be better due to increasing
coal price. Delta also said the company is targeting to
sign new mining contracts this year.
• PT Petrosea said the company ‘s revenues in the first
9 months of 2020 fell by 34.01% y-o-y or almost US$
250.0 million as coal production and overburden
removal volume decreased by 22.2% and 29.04%
29
COAL y-o-y to 19.1 Mt and 68.8 Mbcm. Its coal production
30 PRODUCTION and overburden removal volume in 2021 is targeted
to increase by 16.0% and 20% y-o-y to 30.0 Mt and
Coal Production Quota 118.0 Mbcm. Petrosea also said the company will
by Province in 2021
prepare capex of around US$ 100.0 million in 2021
or a jump by almost five times than realized capex in
2020.
• Anzawara Satria said that the local police department
has stopped illegal mining activities at its mining
concession and arrested three mine workers and
seized two excavators. IKI noticed illegal mining
activities have also happened at PT Sumber Kurnia
Buana concession which causes the water dam in the
mining area to collapse and caused flood affecting the
local people.
• PT Intraco Penta expected its heavy equipment sales
in 2021 to increase by 10.0% - 15.0% than 2020
driven by higher heavy equipment demand from
coal and nickel industries as it predicted price of
both commodities to rise in 2021 due to increasing
demand for coal and nickel from export and domestic
markets. Meanwhile, PT Hexindo Adiperkasa sees
heavy equipment business will be better in 2021 due
to higher demand from coal and agriculture sectors,
while demand from infrastructure sector is expected
to be stable. The company targets sales in 2021 to
increase by 20.0% - 30.0% y-o-y.

INDONESIA COAL ESDM predicted coal export in 2021 will increase due to
32 EXPORT recovery in the global economy condition and availability
of Covid-19 vaccines, expecting higher demand from
China’s Situation, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Malaysia, and
The Increase in
Viet Nam. ESDM also predicted coal export to China
Power Price?
will increase to almost 202.30 Mt due to China’s ban
of Australian coal and the coal purchasing agreement
between APBI and CCTDA which was signed in November
2020. Meanwhile, Indian demand for imported coal
may decrease as the Indian government is targeting to
replace 100 Mt of imported coal with domestic coal in the
FY20/21 (financial year) and in FY21/22 around 150 Mt
of imported coal will be replaced by the domestic coal.
Therefore, ESDM forecast that total coal export in 2021
will be around 406.30 Mt – 427.0 Mt or an increase of
3.54% - 8.82% than export in 2020.

coal, rubber and CPO due to high demand.
China’s Situation,
The Increase in IKI noticed coal export from South Kalimantan increased
Power Price? by 22.4% m-o-m to 10.97 Mt which consisted of export
of medium grade coal and LRC of 3.64 Mt and 5.56 Mt
or increased 18.1% and 39.7% m-o-m, but its export of
high grade coal decreased 7.2% m-o-m to 1.76 Mt. IKI
noticed the huge increase in the LRC export was caused
by higher output from mines in Banjarmasin, Satui and
Kotabaru areas which IKI will discuss further in the
infrastructure section. Meanwhile, export of LRC from
Asam – Asam area which were produced from Anugerah
Lumbung Energy mine fell by 47.89% m-o-m or only 66.0
Kt. IKI also noticed that the increase in South Kalimantan
medium grade export was mostly caused by increased
in Arutmin coal shipment to overseas up to 0.45 Mt or
almost double than Arutmin’s export in October 2020,
while export of medium grade coal from Adaro was
relatively stable and with decrease in export from STC
mines. IKI noticed lower export of high grade coal from
South Kalimantan was mostly caused by lower sales
from mines in Banjarmasin and Kotabaru, while export
of bituminous coal from Arutmin and Wahana mines
increased to 0.32 Mt and 0.15 Mt.

and with Australia as the second biggest thermal coal
exporter with quantity of 42.71 Mt or 21.79% of total

domestic and export markets especially steel demand
for automobile production, but steel demand from
construction sector is expect to be stable. However,
the industry also said that their prediction will depend
on the pandemic case, China’s economic condition,
and also the trade war between China and the US. IKI
thinks the prediction of increasing steel demand will also
increase the country’s coal demand both coking coal
and thermal coal for the steel and power production, and
IKI’s prediction is also based on the request made by
the steel industry recently to the Japanese government
to provide more incentives to the industry for reducing
cost in power production due to government target of
zero-carbon policy as at this moment the Japanese steel
industry must compete with China’s steel industry which
produces 60% of the total global steel output and with
lower prices.

IKI also calculated that total Viet Nam coal import in the
first eleven months of 2020 was 50.88 Mt or increased
28.5% m-o-m, while the country’s power production in
the same period only increased by almost 3.0% y-o-y to
215.6 Twh, and its steel production index from January
– November 2020 increased by around 6.0% y-o-y. IKI
then concluded that the increase of the Viet Nam coal
import in 2020 was caused by higher demand for thermal
coal as the effect of lower power production from hydro
plants which then made the country increase its power
production from coal plants, and the country’s demand
for coking coal also increased as shown by the increasing
activities in the steel manufacturing industry. IKI thinks
Viet Nam’s coal demand in February 2021 will decrease
slightly due to high power production from hydro plants
and lower coal demand from steel industry.
