PT Pertamina Patra Niaga will reduce the prices of several non-subsidized fuel types, including Pertamax, Pertamax Turbo, and Pertamax Green 95, effective August 1, 2026. This decision follows government directives and takes into account fluctuations in global oil prices, the rupiah exchange rate, and the public's purchasing power.

According to Kitty Andhora, Vice President of Corporate Communication at Pertamina Patra Niaga, these periodic price adjustments are part of an effort to maintain a balance between affordability and the availability of national fuel supplies. "Price adjustments for non-subsidized fuels are made in accordance with government regulations and directives, considering the developments in global oil prices, the rupiah exchange rate, and still paying attention to the public's purchasing power," Andhora stated in an official release on Friday (August 1, 2026).

In this latest adjustment, the price of Pertamax (RON 92) will decrease from Rp 16,250 to Rp 15,950 per liter. Pertamax Turbo will see a reduction from Rp 19,300 to Rp 18,300 per liter. Pertamax Green 95 (RON 95) will also be lowered from Rp 17,000 to Rp 16,600 per liter. These changes reflect Pertamina's commitment to ensuring fuel availability while remaining responsive to market dynamics and consumer affordability.

Price adjustments for non-subsidized fuels are made in accordance with government regulations and directives, considering the developments in global oil prices, the rupiah exchange rate, and still paying attention to the public's purchasing power. This step is also part of the effort to maintain the availability of national fuel supplies so that they remain guaranteed for the public.
