Prabowo Assures Indonesia's Fuel Supply is Secure, Here are the Main Countries Supplying Indonesia's Largest Petrol Imports

President of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto has urged the public to remain calm amid recent global turbulence, particularly concerning fuel oil (BBM) issues.

According to him, the current national fuel supply is secure. This is based on reports from the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia.

“Mr Bahlil says it’s safe, so stay calm,” Prabowo stated during the Indonesian President’s Briefing at the Working Meeting of the Government Members of the Red and White Cabinet at the Presidential Palace, quoted on Thursday (9/4/2026).

However, he emphasised that the government is not complacent despite the secure conditions. Various anticipatory measures are being prepared to address global dynamics so they do not directly impact the public.

“Safe doesn’t mean we relax; we work and stay vigilant,” he explained.

Referring to data from the Ministry of ESDM as of 1 April 2026, Indonesia’s largest petrol imports still come from Singapore at 64.23%, followed by Malaysia at 27.18%.

“The most dominant petrol oil imports come from Singapore and Malaysia because current petrol needs still require imports,” said Secretary of the Directorate General of Oil and Gas Muhammad Rizwi, during a Working Meeting with Commission XII of the Indonesian House of Representatives, quoted on Thursday (9/4/2026).

Meanwhile, contributions from other countries are relatively small, including Oman at 5.55% and the United Arab Emirates at 3.03%.

Head of the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Body (BPH Migas) Wahyudi Anas provided an update on the current national fuel supply conditions, both subsidised and non-subsidised BBM.

In his presentation, for RON 90 BBM or Pertalite, the total national reserve is still at 18.1 days, with stock reserves reaching 1.51 million kilolitres (KL) and daily consumption of 84,038 KL. “This status is still very safe,” Wahyudi Anas explained during a Hearing with Commission XII of the DPR, quoted on Thursday (9/4/2026).

Meanwhile, for non-subsidised BBM such as Pertamax RON 92, conditions are also safe with reserves at 22.1 days. For Pertamax Turbo RON 98, it reaches 46.5 days.

“This means all types of petrol BBM are very safe, and the situation is fully distributed and served to the public,” Wahyudi stressed.

For subsidised diesel fuel, stock resilience is still at 16.5 days with national stock reaching 1.57 million KL and daily consumption of 95,638 KL. For Pertamina DEX CN53 stock, it reaches 64.5 days.

“The stock conditions for BBM specifically for gasoil and gasoline are very dynamic. Because of public needs and to maintain stock balance, we have confirmed with the Pertamina Group that refineries are producing normally, with no maintenance activities, so this fluctuating position is well maintained and the conditions are indeed very safe,” Wahyudi clarified.

For aviation fuel, stock resilience reaches 28.1 days with national stock at 388,626 KL and daily consumption of 13,816 KL. “So we can conclude that the national BBM stock resilience is in a safe condition,” Wahyudi concluded.
