Minerals and Coal Business Licensing Standards: Permen ESDM 7/2026

This article describes the minerals-and-coal standards in Peraturan Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral Nomor 7 Tahun 2026 tentang Standar Kegiatan Usaha pada Penyelenggaraan Perizinan Berusaha Berbasis Risiko Sektor Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral. It is part of a series; for the framework, the licence categories (PB and PB UMKU), and the transitional rules, see the overview of Permen ESDM 7/2026.

The minerals-and-coal business-activity standards appear in Lampiran I (core licences, PB) and Lampiran II (supporting licences, PB UMKU).

Core business licences (PB)

Lampiran I sets standards for the principal mining licences, including:

• Izin Usaha Pertambangan (IUP) — mining business licence, by commodity.
• Izin Usaha Pertambangan Khusus (IUPK) — special mining business licence.
• Surat Izin Penambangan Batuan (SIPB) — rock-mining permit.
• Izin Pertambangan Rakyat (IPR) — community mining licence.
• Izin Pengangkutan dan Penjualan — transport-and-sales licence.
• Izin Usaha Jasa Pertambangan (IUJP) — mining-services business licence.
• Sertifikat Standar Konsultasi — consultancy standard certificate.

The associated KBLI codes are extensive, covering 05100 (coal mining), the 07xxx range (metal-ore mining), and the 08xxx range (other mining and quarrying), as well as 09900 (other mining and quarrying support), 46610, 46620, and 46641 (wholesale trade).

Mining-services licence (IUJP) and its scope

The IUJP standard (KBLI 09900, other mining and quarrying support activities) governs the requirements for running a mining-services business. As stated in the annex, it covers core support services provided on a fee or contract basis that are needed in mining activities within KBLI main groups 05, 07, and 08 — for example exploration services such as taking ore samples and making geological observations, pumping and conveying mining output, and trial excavation and drilling of mine fields or wells. A business actor holding an IUJP does not hold another minerals-and-coal mining licence.

The annex defines the Usaha Jasa Pertambangan Inti (core mining-services business) as services tied to stages or parts of mining activity, and the Penanggung Jawab Operasional (PJO) as the person holding the highest position in the services company's structure at the mining-activity area, accountable to the Mine Technical Head.

Supporting licences (PB UMKU)

Lampiran II sets the minerals-and-coal supporting standard around the Izin Usaha Pertambangan Untuk supporting activities.

Exploration-stage carve-out and blending transition

Two framework rules bear directly on minerals and coal:

• Exploration carve-out. The basic-requirement obligation for spatial-use suitability is waived for the exploration stage in the minerals-and-coal subsector (Article 3(6)).
• Blending transition. Where refinery-product blending with biofuel intersects with downstream activity, holders of existing processing, storage, or trading licences must adjust to this regulation within 12 months of promulgation (Article 17). For the oil-and-gas side of blending, see the oil and gas business licensing standards.

Sanctions

A business actor breaching minerals-and-coal PB or PB UMKU terms faces administrative sanctions under Article 9: written warning, temporary cessation of part or all of the licensed activity, and/or revocation of the licence. A holder that breaches obligations to pay state or regional revenue is additionally subject to administrative fines under prevailing law.
