As of October, 2025, Indonesia’s fuel market—particularly in Jakarta—shows contrasting trends between Pertamina (state-owned) and private operators such as Shell, BP-AKR, and Vivo. Pertamina kept prices stable for most gasoline variants, while adjusting diesel products slightly upward. On the other hand, private stations raised nearly all non-subsidized fuel prices starting October 1, 2025.

Supply Challenges at Private Stations
Since August 2025, private fuel providers have struggled with supply shortages:
- Shell: Expected to run out of stock immediately.
- Vivo: Stock predicted to last until mid-October.
- BP-AKR: Supplies may run out by the end of October.
- ExxonMobil mini stations: Likely to face shortages by November.
Attempts to source additional fuel from Pertamina faced setbacks, as Vivo and BP canceled agreements due to technical issues with ethanol blending (3.5% content), although this level is within regulatory limits.

Fuel Prices – Conclusion
For now, Pertamina remains the most stable and affordable choice for consumers in Jakarta. However, rising private fuel prices and looming supply shortages may force more motorists to rely on Pertamina stations, potentially leading to long queues. The year 2026 will be crucial, as regulatory changes may reshape Indonesia’s fuel market and determine whether competition will bring relief or further volatility.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Pertamina Fuel Price
Why are Pertamina’s fuel prices more stable than Shell, BP, and Vivo?
Pertamina benefits from its role as a state-owned company with direct access to domestic supply and government oversight, allowing it to maintain more consistent pricing compared to private operators that depend heavily on imports.
Why are private gas stations facing shortages?
Private operators such as Shell, BP, and Vivo have faced difficulties in securing fuel imports since mid-2025. Cancelled supply agreements with Pertamina due to ethanol blending issues further worsened the shortage.
Which fuel is currently the cheapest in Jakarta?
Pertamina’s Biosolar remains the cheapest option at IDR 6,800 per liter, though it is mainly used by commercial and diesel vehicles.
Will these price increases affect transportation costs?
Yes, higher fuel costs for private operators could influence public transport, logistics, and ride-hailing fares, especially if shortages persist and consumers have fewer fueling options.
What changes are expected in 2026?
Starting in 2026, private companies may be permitted to directly import fuel again. This policy could ease supply shortages, strengthen competition, and potentially stabilize prices in the medium term.
