Several private petrol stations have announced fuel price changes effective 1 August 2026. The management of Shell Indonesia has announced that diesel fuel prices will rise from Rp21,340 per litre in July to Rp21,910 per litre starting 1 August 2026. According to its official website, Shell V-Power Diesel remains available in various regions across Jakarta, Banten, West Java, and East Java. The price adjustment for diesel at Shell stations aligns with global oil price fluctuations resulting from the conflict between the United States and Israel against Iran. Diesel prices, which were Rp14,620 per litre on 1 March 2026, surged to Rp30,890 per litre in May, before dropping to Rp24,490 per litre in June and further decreasing to Rp21,340 per litre on 1 July 2026. Meanwhile, Shell Super, Shell V-Power, and Shell V-Power Nitro+ fuels have not been available since the beginning of 2026.

In contrast to Shell, PT Pertamina (Persero) announced that prices for non-subsidised diesel types, such as Pertamina Dex and Dexlite, remain unchanged. In the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek), Dexlite (CN 51) prices remain stable at Rp19,700 per litre, and Pertamina Dex (CN 53) is also stable at Rp21,150 per litre. Conversely, prices for the Pertamax series have decreased. Pertamax dropped from Rp16,250 per litre in July 2026 to Rp15,950 per litre starting 1 August 2026, while Pertamax Green decreased from Rp17,000 to Rp16,600 per litre. Additionally, Pertamax Turbo saw a reduction from Rp19,300 to Rp18,300 per litre. Prices for subsidised and assigned fuels remain unchanged, with Pertalite at Rp10,000 per litre and Biosolar at Rp6,800 per litre.
