Minister Delegates Issuance of Mining Licenses to BKPM

The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (“Minister”) has issued Regulation No. 25 of 2015 on the Delegation of Authority to Issue Mineral and Coal Mining Licenses to the Head of the Capital Investment Coordinating Board under the One-Stop Integrated Services Framework (“2015 Regulation”).

The 2015 Regulation implements Presidential Directive No. 4 of 2015 on One-Stop Integrated Service, which mandates that all mining business licensing processes be performed via the One-Stop Integrated Service (“PTSP”), which is organized by the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (“BKPM”).[1] For this purpose, the 2015 Regulation provides the legal basis whereby the Head of the BKPM can issue mining business licenses on behalf of the Minister.[2]
