Fundamental View
AS OF 11 Jun 2025We expect PT Mineral Industri Indonesia’s (MIND ID) strategic importance and policy role to the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to strengthen in line with the GoI’s downstream push and green energy transition efforts.
We expect MIND ID’s credit metrics to improve modestly in FY26 as healthy commodity prices (barring coal and nickel), capacity additions, and healthy dividend income from key joint venture PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) could offset high capex.
Mining regulatory risk remains a concern, though MIND ID’s large diversified scale of operations could partly limit such risks.
We are watchful of dividend upstreaming risks to Indonesia’s new sovereign wealth fund Danantara.

Risk & Catalysts
AS OF 11 Jun 2025MIND ID is subjected to unanticipated changes in mining policies that raise operational and regulatory uncertainties.
MIND ID is exposed to commodity price fluctuations that could hurt sales price realizations and profitability.
Capex typically remains elevated, pressurizing its free cash flow generation and leverage.
MIND ID faces material asset concentration risk for its coal, gold and tin segments.
We are watchful of dividend upstreaming risks to Indonesia’s new sovereign wealth fund Danantara.

CreditSight View Comment
AS OF 28 Aug 2025We upgrade our rec on MIND ID to M/P from U/P, and prefer the 2048 within its bond complex. Since our U/P rec in Mar-2025, IDASAL’s bond spread differentials with Pertamina and PLN have widened close to where we see fair value. We see a modestly improving credit outlook over the next 12 months as strong gold and aluminium prices, new project contributions, and sturdy dividend income from jv PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) could offset rising downstream capex. We also view state support for IDASAL as gradually strengthening, given Danantara’s focus on mining as a priority industry. Key risks we are watchful of include overly aggressive capex and dividend payouts to Danantara, unanticipated unfavorable mining regulatory changes, and reduced dividends from PTFI.
