JAKARTA, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Indonesia’s Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry has decided to keep coal domestic market obligation at 25% and the price cap at $70 per tonne in 2020, it said in a statement on Tuesday.

Ministry officials last year said the government was considering lowering the mandatory coal sales to domestic power plant operators to 20% since many miners struggled to fulfill the requirements.

“The government’s commitment to continue with this policy is based on domestic demand consideration and business sustainability,” the statement said.
