President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto has urged the\nentire public to remain calm amid the global turbulence that has\noccurred in recent weeks, particularly regarding fuel oil (BBM)\nissues.<\/p>\n
According to him, the current national fuel supply condition is\nsecure. This is based on reports from the Minister of Energy and Mineral\nResources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Bahlil says it\u2019s safe, so stay calm,\u201d Prabowo stated during the\nPresidential Briefing at the Working Meeting of the Government Members\nof the Red and White Cabinet at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta,\nquoted on Thursday (9\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
However, he emphasised that the government is not complacent despite\nthe assessed safe condition. Various anticipatory measures are still\nbeing prepared to address global dynamics so as not to directly impact\nthe public.<\/p>\n
\u201cSafe doesn\u2019t mean we relax; we work and stay alert,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n
The Head of the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Body (BPH Migas)\nWahyudi Anas has been candid about the current national fuel supply\ncondition, both for subsidised and non-subsidised BBM types.<\/p>\n
In his presentation, for RON 90 fuel or Pertalite, the total national\nreserve is still at 18.1 days. The reserve stock reaches 1.51 million\nkilolitres (KL) with daily consumption of 84,038 KL. \u201cThis status is\nstill very safe,\u201d Wahyudi Anas clarified during the Opinion Hearing\nMeeting (RDP) with Commission VII of the DPR, quoted on Thursday\n(9\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, for non-subsidised fuel like Pertamax RON 92, it is also\nin a safe condition with reserves reaching 22.1 days. For Pertamax Turbo\nRON 98, it reaches 46.5 days.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis means all types of petrol BBM are very safe, and the situation\nis all distributed and served to the public,\u201d Wahyudi stressed.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, for subsidised diesel fuel, the stock resilience is still\nat 16.5 days with national stock reaching 1.57 million KL and daily\nconsumption reaching 95,638 KL. For Pertamina DEX CN53 stock, it reaches\n64.5 days.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the BBM stock condition specifically for gasoil and gasoline is\nindeed very dynamic. Because public needs as well as to maintain stock\nbalance, we have confirmed with the Pertamina Group that refineries\ncontinue normal production, with no maintenance activities, so this\nfluctuating position is well maintained and the condition is indeed very\nsafe,\u201d Wahyudi explained.<\/p>\n
Then, specifically for avtur fuel, the stock resilience reaches 28.1\ndays with national stock reaching 388,626 KL and daily consumption\nreaching 13,816 KL. \u201cSo we can conclude that the national BBM stock\nresilience is in a safe condition,\u201d Wahyudi concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/prabowo-affirms-bahlils-statement-on-fuel-security-here-is-the-latest-evidence-1775703059", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
