Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Minister Bahlil Lahadalia has\nstated that the price increase for non-subsidised fuel, particularly\nPertamax, was calculated wisely. It is known that the price of\nnon-subsidised Pertamax (RON 92) has risen from Rp12,300 to Rp16,250 per\nlitre, and Pertamax Green 95 (RON 95) has increased from Rp12,900 to\nRp17,000 per litre.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, this calculation has been carried out wisely by business\noperators, both Pertamina and other private entities,\u201d Bahlil told\nreporters at the Presidential Palace Complex in Central Jakarta on\nThursday.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Bahlil confirmed that subsidised fuels such as Pertalite\nand subsidised LPG will not experience any price increase. \u201cThere has\nbeen absolutely no change to the price of subsidised fuel or LPG,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
When asked whether the government would provide incentives to\nmaintain people\u2019s purchasing power, Bahlil said the matter was still\nunder discussion. \u201cThe government is currently formulating matters\nrelated to maintaining the public\u2019s purchasing power. That is why, to\nprotect purchasing power, we have not raised subsidised fuel prices at\nall. Meanwhile, adjustments have been made to others,\u201d Bahlil\nconcluded.<\/p>\n
Previously, Pertamina Patra Niaga announced price hikes for Pertamax\nand Pertamax Green fuel products effective from 10 June 2026. According\nto a company press release, the price adjustment was made after an\nevaluation process in accordance with the pricing formula set by the\ngovernment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe price adjustment for Pertamax and Pertamax Green was decided in\ncoordination with the government as the regulator and carried out\naccording to a periodic evaluation mechanism, taking into account global\noil price developments and economic market prices,\u201d said Pertamina Patra\nNiaga Corporate Secretary Roberth MV Dumatubun. Roberth conveyed that\nthe adjustment of non-subsidised fuel prices was made in accordance with\nprevailing regulations. \u201cThe selling price was decided while still\ncoordinating with the government as the regulator and is part of efforts\nto ensure the sustainability of energy supply and the optimal\ndistribution of quality fuel for the public,\u201d he explained.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/minister-bahlil-pertamax-price-hike-calculated-wisely-by-pertamina-1781193311", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
