PT Pertamina (Persero) through Pertamina Patra Niaga confirmed no adjustment to fuel (BBM) prices at SPBU starting April 1, 2026, for both subsidized and non-subsidized types. The announcement came on March 31, 2026, amid rising global oil prices due to the Iran-US-Israel conflict. Pertamina urged the public to avoid panic buying and use fuel wisely.

JAKARTA — PT Pertamina (Persero) confirmed that fuel (BBM) prices at all SPBU remain unchanged starting April 1, 2026. This applies to subsidized fuels like Pertalite at Rp 10,000 per liter and Pertamina Biosolar at Rp 6,800 per liter, as well as non-subsidized like Pertamax at Rp 12,300 per liter. These prices match those in effect since March 1, 2026.

The official announcement was made via Instagram, the company website, and a written statement on Tuesday (March 31, 2026). “PT Pertamina (Persero) through Pertamina Patra Niaga confirms there is no adjustment to BBM prices at Pertamina SPBU from April 1, 2026. This policy follows government directives on BBM prices, both subsidized and non-subsidized,” Pertamina stated.

Corporate Secretary of Pertamina Patra Niaga, Roberth M.V. Dumatubun, outlined strategic efforts including coordination with the government, negotiations with suppliers, and optimization of refinery production and distribution. This aligns with President Prabowo Subianto's directive to prioritize public interests amid global oil price dynamics.

Pertamina advised the public to use energy wisely and avoid unverified information that could trigger panic buying. “We also urge the public to use energy wisely according to needs and not be influenced by information that could trigger panic buying,” Roberth said.

Prices vary slightly by region, for example Pertamax at Rp 12,300 in Java to Rp 12,900 in West Sumatra.

Global crude oil prices have surpassed 115 USD per barrel, triggered by escalation in the Iran-AS-Israel war and Houthi threats. Economists warn of fiscal risks for Indonesia, including rupiah weakening to Rp17,002 per USD and potential APBN deficit. Pertamina denies rumors of non-subsidy fuel price hikes starting April 1, 2026.

House Speaker Puan Maharani has urged the government to explain the reasons behind Pertamina's non-subsidi fuel price increase effective April 18, 2026. She seeks clarity on how long the hike will last and mitigation steps for the Iran-US conflict impact. Energy Minister Bahlil Lahadalia stated that non-subsidi prices follow global markets.

Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto assured that the government will maintain subsidized fuel (BBM) prices until the end of 2026. Prices for non-subsidized fuels remain under review and will be announced once finalized.

The Department of Energy stated that March 9 is the final day for capped fuel prices, with adjustments taking effect on March 10. Several gas stations reported supply shortages from the rush of customers. This occurs amid global oil price hikes due to escalating Middle East conflicts.

Oil firms confirmed price rollbacks effective 6 a.m. Tuesday, April 14, matching Department of Energy projections: diesel down P20.89 to P23 per liter, gasoline P4.43 to P4.50, and kerosene P8.50. The cuts end surges of over P100 on diesel since late February's Middle East crisis. President Marcos suspended excise taxes on LPG and kerosene, while a jeepney subsidy launches.

Following last week's rollbacks, diesel prices are forecast to drop another P17 to P19 per liter and gasoline P2 to P3 per liter starting April 21, potentially taking diesel below P130, as Middle East tensions ease further with a holding ceasefire.

Fuel prices in Brazil rose for the second consecutive week, according to ANP data released on March 13, 2026. Diesel saw an 11.8% increase, while gasoline rose 2.5%, reflecting the impacts of the war in Iran on international oil prices.
