        "summary": "Pertamina's subsidiary Patra Niaga has increased the prices of non-subsidised LPG cylinders by up to 18.89 per cent effective 18 April, with the 12 kg cylinder now at Rp 227,000 in major regions and the 5.5 kg at Rp 107,000, marking the first adjustment since a cut in November 2023. The hike stems from global factors including a rupiah appreciation reversal and rising Indonesian Crude Price (ICP) to US$102.26 per barrel in March, driven by Middle East tensions such as the Iran-Israel-US conflict and the Strait of Hormuz closure disrupting 20 per cent of world oil trade. This adjustment highlights Indonesia's vulnerability to international energy market volatility, potentially impacting household and business costs amid ongoing geopolitical risks.",
        "content": "<p>According to the official site of Pertamina\u2019s subsidiary Patra Niaga\nin Jakarta on Sunday, the new 12 kilogram cylinder price applies in\nJakarta, Banten, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, East Java, Bali,\nand West Nusa Tenggara.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the price of non-subsidized LPG in 5.5 kilogram cylinders\nhas increased from Rp90,000 to Rp107,000 (about US$6.24) per cylinder,\nup 18.89 percent across the provinces.<\/p>\n<p>Prices in other regions were adjusted based on local distribution\ncosts. All changes took effect on April 18.<\/p>\n<p>The price adjustment marks the first since November 2023, when\nPertamina cut the per-cylinder price of 12 kilogram LPG by Rp12,000 to\nRp192,000.<\/p>\n<p>Irto Ginting, Patra Niaga\u2019s then-corporate secretary, explained that\nthe price decline followed an evaluation of Saudi Aramco\u2019s contract\nprices for propane and butane, which showed a decrease in the\nper-kilogram price in rupiah as a result of the rupiah\u2019s appreciation\nagainst the US dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Deputy Speaker of the People\u2019s Consultative\nAssembly (MPR) Eddy Soeparno warned that LPG prices are closely tied to\nglobal crude oil trends. Amid Middle East tensions, the Indonesian Crude\nPrice (ICP) rose to US$102.26 per barrel in March, up US$33.47 from\nFebruary.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Director General of Oil and Natural Gas at the Energy and\nMineral Resources Ministry Laode Sulaeman said the ICP spike was largely\ndriven by rising security concerns in global shipping lanes.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the war involving Iran, Israel, and the United States\nhad led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz for tanker passage,\ndisrupting global energy supplies and pushing prices higher, as the\nwaterway handles 20 percent of the world\u2019s oil trade.<\/p>\n<p>The situation was further aggravated by attacks on energy facilities\nacross the region, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia negotiates the purchase of crude oil and LPG\nfrom Russia<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Prabowo-Putin talks help ease energy supply risks:\nMPR<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia targets April start for Russian oil\nimports<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Putu Indah, Tegar Nurfitra<\/p>",
