Deputy Chair of DPR Commission VI Claims Government Has New Oil Sources, Fuel Stock and Prices Guaranteed Safe

Jakarta - Deputy Chair of Commission VI of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) Andre Rosiade has claimed that the government has new oil sources, ensuring national fuel oil (BBM) stocks are secure and prices will not rise. “Secondly, the stocks are safe, and the government has new methods and new oil sources, so the public need not worry that Indonesia’s BBM stocks are very secure,” said Andre when met at the DPR RI Building on Wednesday (1/4/2026). He views the government’s decision not to raise BBM prices amid the global situation as evidence of its readiness to face emerging dynamics. “This proves that the Prabowo administration is very prepared to face this geopolitical situation, this global geopolitics,” said Andre. “Pertamina Patra Niaga will be ready to implement, secure, and ensure BBM stocks are safe throughout Indonesia,” said Andre. “So I urge all Indonesian people to remain calm that there will be no price increase and our stocks are very secure,” he concluded. “Therefore, Pertamina states that it will not adjust prices for either subsidised or non-subsidised BBM,” said Prasetyo in his statement on Tuesday (31/3/2026). Thus, there will be no BBM price increase as of 1 April 2026. The government also asks the public not to panic because domestic BBM availability is guaranteed to be safe. “We hope with this statement the public can get clearer, more accurate information, and we hope the public does not need to panic or worry because we guarantee BBM availability. We guarantee it,” said Prasetyo. “And there will be no price adjustment,” he emphasised.
