PT Pertamina (Persero) has increased the prices of several non-subsidised fuels, including Pertamax Turbo, Dexlite, and Pertamina Dex, effective Saturday, 18 April 2026. The adjustment applies across multiple regions, including Jakarta.
According to Pertamina’s official website, the price of Pertamax Turbo in Jakarta has risen to Rp19,400 per litre, up from Rp13,100 per litre recorded on 1 April 2026. Dexlite has increased to Rp23,600 per litre from Rp14,200 per litre. Meanwhile, Pertamina Dex is now priced at Rp23,900 per litre, compared to Rp14,500 per litre earlier this month.
Despite these increases, the company has maintained the prices of other fuel types. Pertamax (RON 92) remains at Rp12,300 per litre, while Pertamax Green 95 is set at Rp12,900 per litre. Subsidised fuels, including Pertalite at Rp10,000 per litre and subsidised diesel at Rp6,800 per litre, also remain unchanged.
Pertamina stated that “fuel price adjustments were made based on the basic price formula used to calculate the retail selling price of gasoline and diesel fuel distributed through public fuel stations.” The updated prices are also available through the MyPertamina application.
Fuel Price Structure in Indonesia
Indonesia continues to implement a dual pricing system for fuel, consisting of subsidised and non-subsidised products. This structure aims to balance market dynamics with public affordability.
As of 18 April 2026, the official fuel prices are as follows:
- Pertalite (RON 90): Rp10,000 per litre
- Subsidised diesel (CN 48): Rp6,800 per litre
- Pertamax (RON 92): Rp12,300 per litre
- Pertamax Green 95 (RON 95): Rp12,900 per litre
- Pertamax Turbo (RON 98): Rp19,400 per litre
- Dexlite (CN 51): Rp23,600 per litre
- Pertamina Dex (CN 53): Rp23,900 per litre
The latest increase applies only to non-subsidised fuels. Pertamina has not announced any changes to subsidised fuel prices.
Comparison with Fuel Prices in ASEAN
Fuel prices in Southeast Asia vary across countries due to differences in subsidy policies, taxation, and global oil price movements.
Singapore continues to record the highest fuel prices in the region. As of 18 April 2026, RON 98 petrol in Singapore is priced at approximately S$4.01 per litre, equivalent to around Rp54,114 per litre.
In Vietnam, fuel prices remain lower than in Singapore but higher than some subsidised fuels in Indonesia. RON 95 petrol is priced at VND 23,760, or approximately Rp15,427 per litre. E5 biofuel RON 92 is set at VND 22,590, equivalent to around Rp14,667 per litre.
Diesel prices in Vietnam have declined by 5.8 per cent to VND 31,040 per litre, or about Rp20,225. This marks the lowest level since 20 March.
Recent fuel price developments in Indonesia have occurred alongside fluctuations in global oil markets. These movements have been linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including disruptions to energy distribution routes in the Strait of Hormuz.
