Amid global economic uncertainties, Indonesia’s mining and energy sector continues to show promising growth, particularly with the government’s push for downstreaming (hilirisasi). Wisnu Wahyudin Pettalolo, Commissioner of PT Mineral Sumberdaya Mandiri, stated that the key to thriving in this challenging sector is innovation and adaptive business strategies. His company, which operates in logistics, land transportation, and consulting services for the mining industry, has seen improved financial performance in 2025 due to operational certainty and precise corporate actions. They are currently focusing on logistics for key minerals in the national downstreaming map—coal, bauxite, and nickel. 

Wisnu emphasized that successful downstreaming requires strong supporting infrastructure, especially shared transportation networks that can benefit multiple mining concessions. The company is expanding its logistics network in regions like West Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and North Maluku, aligning with the government’s industrial policy. Additionally, PT Mineral Sumberdaya Mandiri its strengthening partnerships in nickel and bauxite mining, seeking to become not only a logistics operator but also a sustainable mine management partner. He stressed the urgency for regulatory certainty, especially the release of implementing regulations under the Minerba Law, which are crucial for long-term planning and investment. With supportive policy, the company is poised to contribute more to Indonesia’s mining ecosystem.
