  • Shell Indonesia announced a significant price reduction for its diesel fuel, Shell V-Power Diesel, to Rp21,340 per liter starting July 1, 2026.
  • This price cut follows a period of extreme volatility, with diesel prices previously soaring to Rp30,890 per liter in May 2026.
  • Pertamina also adjusted its fuel prices, lowering nonsubsidized diesel and Pertamax Turbo, while maintaining prices for Pertalite and Biosolar.

Shell Indonesia has announced a substantial decrease in the price of its diesel fuel, Shell V-Power Diesel. Effective July 1, 2026, the fuel will be available for Rp21,340 per liter, a notable drop from the previous month's price of Rp24,490.

The Indonesian fuel market has experienced significant price fluctuations throughout 2026. Shell V-Power Diesel prices saw a dramatic increase from Rp14,620 per liter in March to a peak of Rp30,890 in May, before beginning a downward trend. Geopolitical factors, particularly the conflict between the US-Israel and Iran, are cited as major drivers of this instability.

Meanwhile, PT Pertamina (Persero) has also implemented price adjustments for its fuel products. The company lowered prices for its nonsubsidized diesel, including Dexlite and Pertamina Dex, as well as Pertamax Turbo. However, prices for Pertamax and Pertamax Green remain unchanged. Crucially, government-subsidized fuels, Pertalite and Biosolar, will retain their existing prices.
