Latest LPG Prices for 3kg, 5.5kg and 12kg Bottles, Effective 2 March 2026
Indonesia plans to increase its share of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) imports from the United States to 70%. This follows a new trade agreement between Indonesia and the United States.
Pertamina Director-General Simon Aloysius Mantiri explained that this step forms part of a strategy to diversify energy sources to secure supply whilst obtaining competitive pricing. Prior to the new agreement, Indonesia’s LPG supply was already heavily dependent on the United States.
“We know that Pertamina has been importing a fairly substantial share from the United States at approximately 57%. With this trade agreement, we will be able to increase this to up to 70%,” said Simon during an online press conference from the United States on Monday, 2 March 2026.
Simon stressed that the implementation of the US$15 billion energy import programme would proceed according to fair business principles and with transparency. The company guarantees there will be no direct appointment mechanism, but rather a transparent tender process open to qualifying partners in the United States.
“The plan for energy imports from the United States, firstly, involves business as usual—no direct appointment, but rather the usual tendering and bidding mechanisms that are open,” he stated.
Mantiri acknowledged that Indonesia is currently facing challenges from natural decline in upstream oil and gas production, so imports are necessary to bridge the gap between domestic production and consumption whilst awaiting efforts to increase production to bear fruit.
“We are also making efforts to increase our production, which we know is experiencing natural decline and certainly requires breakthroughs. To meet the current gap, we still need imports,” he added.
