BPH Migas Assures Safe Fuel Supply During 2026 Eid Holidays, No Need to Panic
JAKARTA - BPH Migas has assured that the national fuel oil (BBM) supply during the Eid holiday period is safe and under control.
Member of the BPH Migas Committee, Fathul Nugroho, has asked the public not to worry about BBM stocks.
He stated that as of 22 March 2026, the national BBM stock resilience, both subsidised and non-subsidised, is adequate, and distribution from BBM terminals to various petrol stations (SPBU) is running smoothly.
He also urged the public not to engage in excessive BBM purchases or panic buying.
This step is considered important to maintain even distribution and avoid shortages in certain areas.
The public travelling for Eid homecoming can also utilise Pertamina Delivery Service (PDS) 135 emergency services if they need BBM en route.
Based on monitoring, as of 23 March 2026, queue conditions at several SPBU in Pontianak City and Kubu Raya Regency have gradually returned to normal.
Meanwhile, in other areas such as Sambas and Landak Regencies, efforts to reduce queues are still ongoing.
Sales Area Manager of Pertamina Patra Niaga West Kalimantan, Widhi Tri Adhi Hidayat, said that during the Satgas Ramadhan-Idulfitri (RAFI) period from 9 to 22 March 2026, BBM distribution in West Kalimantan averaged 2,749 kilolitres (KL) per day for Pertalite and Pertamax Series petrol.
Meanwhile, diesel distribution reached 1,420 KL per day, down 3.7 percent from normal, with the highest increase of 20 percent on 18 March 2026.
“Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Kalimantan assures that supplies to SPBU are running smoothly with the addition of tanker trucks and 24-hour operations at the IT Pontianak facility,” Widhi said.
Corporate Secretary of Pertamina Patra Niaga, Roberth MV Dumatubun, added that his side continues to increase BBM supplies in West Kalimantan to meet public needs during the Eid period.
“We emphasise that BBM supplies in West Kalimantan continue to be increased and distributed maximally. With various efforts undertaken, the current conditions have gradually become conducive. We have also encouraged SPBU parties to remain optimally operational and conduct stricter supervision so that services to the public are not disrupted,” Roberth concluded.
