Indonesia 's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) confirmed on November 6 that the country has ruled out cuts to bauxite production quotas in 2027 under the 2027 Work Plan and Budget (RKAB) and is targeting 25–30 million mt of output in 2026.
Director General of Minerals and Coal Tri Winarno said Indonesia's bauxite production is expected to reach approximately 25–30 million mt in 2026, while approved production quotas are estimated at around 30–40 million mt. The government sees no need for production restrictions, as domestic aluminum demand remains insufficiently supplied by local producers. Indonesia's aluminum consumption is estimated at approximately 1.3 million mt per year, while state-owned INALUM's existing production capacity is approximately 300,000 mt per year. The government also aims to encourage further downstream development, moving from bauxite and alumina into primary aluminum production.
