Viral Announcement of Pertalite Not Being Sold at Petrol Station: Pertamina's Explanation

JAKARTA – A photo circulating on social media shows that one of Pertamina’s petrol stations in South Jakarta is no longer selling the subsidised fuel type Pertalite. In the viral image, a large announcement board states that from 1 May 2026, the station will no longer serve Pertalite sales. The station in question is suspected to be in the Antasari area, North Cipete, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. “Announcement for our loyal customers: starting 1 May 2026, our petrol station will no longer sell the subsidised product Pertalite.” Responding to this, Pertamina Patra Niaga’s Corporate Secretary, Roberth MV Dumatubun, explained that the station has now changed status to a Signature petrol station. According to him, Signature petrol stations do not sell subsidised fuels such as Pertalite. This concept focuses more on premium services and facilities compared to regular petrol stations. “Signature petrol stations do not sell subsidised fuels. Signature petrol stations prioritise services and facilities above those of regular petrol stations that still sell subsidised fuels,” he said. Roberth added that a similar concept has already been implemented in several other locations, one of which is the Signature petrol station in Pondok Indah. In the Jakarta and surrounding areas, there are currently several petrol stations with Signature status. Some of them are located in areas such as Slipi, Cengkareng, Kebayoran, Fatmawati, Antasari, Pasar Minggu, and Gambir. Additionally, Signature petrol stations are also present in East Jakarta, North Jakarta, Depok, and Bogor. With this status change, consumers at Signature petrol stations can only purchase non-subsidised fuels such as the Pertamax series and Dex series. SPBU 3111401 - Jalan S.
