Bisnis.com, JAKARTA — Coal commodities have come under pressure as weakening performance across several processing and refining facilities—amid declining demand—continues to weigh on the sector. Domestic miners of the so-called "black gold" have also been forced to recalibrate their strategies in response to a regulatory environment that many see as increasingly burdensome.
A slowdown in global nickel production, driven by overcapacity, has contributed to a drop in coal demand for power generation—posing a risk to Indonesia’s coal producers. This segment has been one of the fastest-growing sources of domestic coal consumption in recent years.
