The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Bahlil Lahadalia, has issued new regulations regarding fines for violations of mining business activities in forest areas, specifically for nickel, bauxite, tin, and coal mining.

This is stipulated in the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree Number 391.K/MB.01/MEM.B/2025, which was enacted and will come into effect on December 1, 2025.

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources stated that the imposition of these fines aims to strengthen law enforcement in forest areas, while also preventing environmental damage caused by mining practices that violate regulations.

"If, in our evaluation, we find that they are violating [regulations] and are not orderly, then we will not hesitate to take action in accordance with applicable rules," said Bahlil in a press release on Wednesday (10/12/2025).

The following are the administrative fines for violations of mining business activities in forest areas under these regulations:

Nickel mining: Rp6.5 billion per hectare
Bauxite mining: Rp1.76 billion per hectare
Tin mining: Rp1.25 billion per hectare
Coal mining: Rp354 million per hectare

The collection of these fines will be carried out by the Forest Area Control Task Force for mining business activities.

The proceeds from the fine collection will then be accounted for as Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) for the energy and mineral resources sector.

This was positively received by Bisman Bakhtiar, Executive Director of the Center for Energy and Mining Law Studies (Pushep). According to him, many mining locations are currently situated within forest areas.

"This regulation can create a deterrent effect because such large fines can make companies cautious or even fearful," said Bisman, as reported by Katadata.co.id on Wednesday (10/12/2025).
