Several fuel providers in Indonesia, including Pertamina, Shell, BP, and Vivo, simultaneously lowered non-subsidized BBM prices starting January 1, 2026. The adjustment follows the government formula and global oil price trends. Subsidized BBM prices remain unchanged.
On January 1, 2026, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, Pertamina's Commercial & Trading subholding, announced a price reduction for non-subsidized BBM in the DKI Jakarta area. Pertamax price dropped to Rp12.350 per liter from Rp12.750 in December 2025. Pertamax Turbo fell to Rp13.400 from Rp13.750, Pertamax Green 95 to Rp13.150 from Rp13.500, Dexlite to Rp13.500 from Rp14.700, and Pertamina Dex to Rp13.600 from Rp15.000 per liter.
Subsidized BBM prices, such as Pertalite (RON 90) at Rp10.000 per liter and Solar Subsidi at Rp6.800 per liter, remain unchanged. Pertamina Patra Niaga's Corporate Secretary, Robert Dumatubun, stated, “We conduct these price adjustments periodically and continue to position Pertamax Series and Dex Series prices as the most competitive.” The adjustments reference the government pricing formula, global oil trends like Argus or Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS), and the rupiah's exchange rate against the US dollar.
Private companies followed suit. Shell reduced Shell Super (RON 92) to Rp12.700 per liter from Rp13.000 in Jakarta, Banten, West Java, and East Java. Shell V-Power (RON 95) is now Rp13.190, V-Power Nitro+ (RON 98) Rp13.480, and V-Power Diesel Rp13.860 per liter. BP-AKR lowered BP 92 to Rp12.500 from Rp13.000, BP Ultimate (RON 95) to Rp13.190, and BP Ultimate Diesel to Rp13.860 per liter in Jabodetabek. Vivo cut Revvo 92 to Rp12.700 from Rp13.000 and Diesel Primus to Rp13.610 from Rp15.520 per liter.
Prices may vary by region based on provincial Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (PBBKB). In other areas, such as Sumatra, non-subsidized prices are slightly higher, for example, Pertamax Turbo at Rp13.700-Rp14.000 per liter, while in free trade zones like Batam, they are lower. The reduction implements Ministerial Decree ESDM No. 245.K/MG.01/MEM.M/2022.
