Pertamina Assures Sufficient Pertalite Stock Amidst Pertamax Price Hikes

PT Pertamina (Persero) has affirmed that the supply of its Pertalite fuel remains sufficient and readily available throughout Indonesia. Roberth M. V. Dumatubun, Corporate Secretary of Pertamina Patra Niaga, stated that distribution to all public fuel stations (SPBU) is proceeding normally under government assignment.

"Pertamina Patra Niaga continues to monitor stock and fuel distribution in real-time across all regions to ensure public needs are met effectively," Dumatubun said in a written statement on Friday, June 12, 2026. He added that the company maintains adequate supply and can respond quickly to any need for additional fuel in specific areas, supported by its extensive energy infrastructure network spanning from Sabang to Merauke.

Pertamina Patra Niaga will continue to carry out its energy distribution duties optimally and ensure the availability of Pertalite for the public remains maintained.

Pertamina Patra Niaga is committed to distributing subsidized fuel in accordance with government regulations. The public is urged to purchase fuel responsibly, buying only what is needed and appropriate for their vehicles.

The company's assurance comes amid concerns following recent price hikes for Pertamax (RON 92) and Pertamax Green 95 (RON 95). Pertamax prices increased from Rp 12,300 to Rp 16,250 per liter, while Pertamax Green 95 rose from Rp 12,900 to Rp 17,000 per liter. These increases have fueled worries that consumers might shift to Pertalite, which has maintained its price of Rp 10,000 per liter. Pertamina's CEO, Simon Aloysius Mantiri, explained that the price adjustments consider global oil price volatility due to geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East, stating the 32 percent increase takes into account public purchasing power.

We understand that every price adjustment will certainly be a concern for the public.
