Pertamina Patra Niaga Corporate Secretary Roberth M. V. Dumatubun stated that stocks of Pertalite fuel are sufficient and available. Distribution to the entire network of public fuel stations (SPBU) across Indonesia is confirmed to be continuing normally in accordance with government assignments. “Pertamina Patra Niaga also continues to conduct real-time monitoring of stock conditions and fuel distribution in all regions so that public needs can be properly met,” he said in a written statement on Friday, 12 June 2026. Robert explained that Pertamina can maintain supply and provide a rapid response if additional supplies are needed in certain areas. All of this is supported by an energy infrastructure network spread from Sabang to Merauke. Pertamina Patra Niaga continues to distribute subsidised fuel in accordance with the provisions and regulations set by the government. The public is urged to be prudent in buying fuel according to their needs and allocation, as well as the type of vehicle used. “Pertamina Patra Niaga will continue to carry out its energy distribution duties optimally and ensure the availability of Pertalite for the public is maintained,” said Roberth. Previously, Pertamina raised the price of Pertamax (RON 92) from Rp 12,300 to Rp 16,250 per litre. The price of Pertamax Green 95 (RON 95) then increased from Rp 12,900 to Rp 17,000 per litre. The price increase raised concerns about a consumer shift to Pertalite, whose price remains at Rp 10,000 per litre. PT Pertamina (Persero) President Director Simon Aloysius Mantiri said the price increase took into account the volatility of world oil prices due to geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East. The 32 percent price surge was deemed to have considered public purchasing power. “We understand that any price adjustment is certainly a concern for the public,” said Simon via a video statement uploaded to Pertamina’s official account on Thursday, 11 June 2026.
