Papua and Maluku Non-subsidised Fuel Prices Drop on 1 June 2026: Dexlite and Pertamina Dex Reduced
PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Papua Maluku officially adjusted non-subsidised fuel prices effective Monday, 1 June 2026. The policy saw significant decreases in diesel fuel prices, while Pertamax Turbo experienced a slight increase. Ispiani Abbas, Area Manager for Communication, Relations & CSR in Papua Maluku, stated the adjustment is part of regular evaluations considering global energy price dynamics and government-set pricing formulas. The price adjustment brings good news for diesel vehicle users. Details of non-subsidised fuel price changes in Papua and Maluku as of 1 June 2026: Ispiani explained that prices include the 7.5% Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (PBBKB) applicable across all provinces in Papua and Maluku. Pertamax prices remained stable at Rp12,600 per litre, unchanged from the previous period. Despite price fluctuations in some products, Pertamina assured stable stock availability across all petrol stations. The adjustment aims to maintain competitive quality energy products while supporting economic activities for local communities and businesses in eastern Indonesia. “We continue to provide quality energy products at competitive prices while ensuring supply stability to meet public energy needs,” Ispiani added. Energy Minister Bahlil Lahadalia said Pertamax prices may rise with global oil prices, but Pertalite will remain stable until end-2026. Consecutive non-subsidised fuel price increases in April and May 2026 have placed significant pressure on public services in Bandung. Thousands of fishermen and crew members are now idle as high non-subsidised fuel prices have halted fishing operations. Indef economist Abra Talattov highlighted the impact of April’s non-subsidised fuel price hikes on transport and food logistics inflation. Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded April 2026 inflation at 0.13%. The rises in non-subsidised fuel and jet fuel prices were deemed insignificant due to their low consumption weight. Latest fuel price update as of 4 May 2026: BP Ultimate Diesel rose sharply to Rp30,890, while Pertamina Dex and Pertamax Turbo also saw significant increases.
