Good news for vehicle owners in Indonesia—fuel prices have dropped again starting Thursday, May 1, 2025. This latest adjustment follows the official regulations set in Ministerial Decree No. 245.K/MG.01/MEM.M/2022, which outlines the formula used to determine fuel selling prices at gas stations. The government made this change by considering global oil prices and the current exchange rate.
Consequently, big fuel distributors such as Pertamina, Shell, Vivo, and BP AKR have reduced their fuel prices by as much as Rp 250 per liter for non-subsidized fuel.
Note: Subsidized fuel prices—Pertalite and Solar—are not affected.
