Prices of 12 Kg and 5.5 Kg LPG Across All Provinces, Effective from 18 April 2026

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – PT Pertamina Patra Niaga has officially raised the price of non-subsidised Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or Bright Gas in 12 kg and 5.5 kg sizes, effective from 18 April 2026. This LPG price increase is the first since 2023, following a previous reduction in November 2023. For the Jakarta, Banten, West Java, Central Java, DI Yogyakarta, East Java, Bali, and West Nusa Tenggara regions, the 12 kg LPG price rises from Rp 192,000 to Rp 228,000 per cylinder, an 18.75 per cent increase. Prices in other regions are adjusted according to distribution costs from the Bulk LPG Filling Station (SPBE). According to the MyPertamina website, the ex-agent selling price applies within a 60-kilometre radius from the SPBE and may increase if the distribution distance is longer. These prices already include the agent’s margin and taxes as per regulations. The LPG price hike is linked to the surge in global oil prices. Conflicts involving the United States, Israel, and Iran have disrupted global energy distribution, including the Strait of Hormuz route, which supplies about 20 per cent of the world’s oil needs. Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia stressed that 12 kg LPG is non-subsidised and intended for affluent society members. “I want to ask, if it’s non-subsidised, is it for the rich or the poor? For the capable ones,” Bahlil said at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in Jakarta on Friday (17/4/2026). He explained that the state serves all citizens, but energy assistance is prioritised for the less fortunate. “The state is present to help all citizens, but the priority is for our brothers and sisters who are unable. Those who are capable should contribute to mutual help,” he said. “The subsidised one remains. I can only guarantee the subsidised price because it is the President’s directive and regulatory order,” he added. He affirmed that non-subsidised LPG prices follow market mechanisms and may therefore be adjusted.
