Latest Fuel Prices in Indonesia: Pertamina, Shell, BP, and Vivo Rates for October 2026
Fuel prices across major Indonesian gas stations remained largely unchanged on Saturday, October 24, 2026, though select diesel products recorded modest increases, CNBC Indonesia reported. State-owned energy firm PT Pertamina Patra Niaga and independent operators kept their non-subsidized rates steady at September levels, balancing retail pressures against macroeconomic realities. As reported by CNBC Indonesia, the baseline pricing structure remains active across the archipelago, with price lists officially updated as of October 23, 2026.
Companies running heavy commercial transport face ongoing exposure to regional fuel variances, which remain subject to local motor vehicle fuel taxes known as PBBKB. iNews and Akurat Sumsel noted that these regional differences apply across distribution zones including Java, Bali, and West Nusa Tenggara.
Pertamina Holds Subsidized Rates While Adjusting Select Non-Subsidized Tiers
Pertalite remains pegged at Rp10,000 per liter and Biosolar at Rp6,800 per liter across Jakarta stations, according to data compiled by CNBC Indonesia. Kitty Andhora, VP Corporate Communication at PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, stated that subsidized products will maintain their current pricing structure through the end of 2026 under government mandates. Non-subsidized variants like Pertamax hold at Rp15,950 per liter, Pertamax Green 95 at Rp19,150 per liter, and Pertamax Turbo at Rp19,600 per liter.
Higher-octane and diesel variants saw prior upward adjustments earlier in the autumn. Akurat Sumsel noted that Pertamina raised Pertamax Green 95 to Rp19,150 per liter back on September 2, following earlier September adjustments to Dexlite and Pertamina Dex. These tiers currently sit at Rp23,700 per liter and Rp25,200 per liter respectively across major distribution zones including Java, Bali, and West Nusa Tenggara, as reported by iNews. Non-subsidized fuel adjustments were last applied at the beginning of September 2026, remaining in place through October 19, 2026.
Private Operators Mirror State Pricing Strategy
Private fuel retailers across the country matched Pertamina’s stance by holding September rate cards steady into the final weekend of October. Private stations recorded no pricing adjustments for the month of October, continuing to lean on rate schedules set in early September.

Consumer Pressures and the Search for Affordability
TribunStyle.com reported that individual motorists relying on subsidized Pertalite continue to endure lengthening queues at SPBU, hesitant to absorb the higher out-of-pocket costs associated with switching to RON 92 alternatives amid regional minimum wage incomes. Cici, a housewife residing in Solo, stated that she has not dared to transition her household to Pertamax out of concern that it would disrupt family finances. She noted that her husband is the sole earner, earning a salary equivalent to the regional minimum wage (UMR), which forces strict budgeting for groceries and daily living expenses. Although she wants to avoid spending significant time waiting in long lines at stations like SPBU Jombor in Sukoharjo and SPBU Sekarpace in Solo, she views staying with Pertalite as the most practical choice given her household’s constrained budget.
