In connection with the adjustment of non-subsidised fuel prices, namely Pertamax and Pertamax Green, which took effect on 10 June 2026, we understand that any price adjustment is a matter of public concern.

Amidst the ongoing global challenges, Pertamina, with the full support of the Government, remains committed to safeguarding energy availability for communities throughout Indonesia. We thank the public for their support thus far. And let us together use energy wisely.” The new prices effective from 10 June 2026 include: Subsidised Diesel at Rp 6,800 per litre, unchanged; Pertalite at Rp 10,000 per litre, unchanged; Pertamax (RON 92) at Rp 16,250 per litre, up from Rp 12,300; Pertamax Green 95 at Rp 17,000 per litre, up from Rp 12,900; Pertamax Turbo at Rp 20,750 per litre, unchanged; Dexlite at Rp 23,000 per litre, unchanged; and Pertamina DEX at Rp 24,800 per litre, unchanged.
