BREAKING: Pertamax Price Drops to Rp 15,950/Liter as of August 1, 2026! Check Complete List of Pertamina Non-Subsidized Fuels

Jakarta, August 1, 2026 – Good news for the Indonesian public! PT Pertamina (Persero) has announced an adjustment to its non-subsidized fuel prices, effective today, Saturday, August 1, 2026. Several types of non-subsidized fuels have seen a price reduction, including Pertamax, which is now priced at Rp 15,950 per liter.

This price decrease is positively welcomed by consumers amidst the ongoing global economic dynamics. This policy is part of Pertamina's regular evaluation, which refers to the pricing formula stipulated in the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree Number 245.K/MG.01/MEM.M/2022 concerning the Basic Price Formula for Calculating the Retail Selling Price of General Types of Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Distributed Through Public Fuel Stations.

Details of Fuel Price Adjustments as of August 1, 2026

The price reduction applies to various non-subsidized fuel products across Indonesia, although there may be slight price differences in some regions due to distribution costs. Here is the latest price list for several non-subsidized fuel types in the DKI Jakarta area and its surroundings:

• Pertamax (RON 92): Reduced to Rp 15,950 per liter (previously Rp 16,200).
• Pertamax Turbo (RON 98): Reduced to Rp 17,150 per liter (previously Rp 17,500).
• Dexlite (CN 51): Reduced to Rp 17,450 per liter (previously Rp 17,800).
• Pertamina Dex (CN 53): Reduced to Rp 18,100 per liter (previously Rp 18,500).

It's important to note that subsidized fuels like Pertalite and Solar have not experienced price changes, as their prices are regulated by the government.

Factors Behind the Price Drop: Global Market Dynamics in 2026

This reduction in non-subsidized fuel prices is Pertamina's response to several macroeconomic factors observed during July 2026. According to Fadli Rahman, a senior energy analyst from Indonesia Energy Watch (IEW), "Global crude oil price fluctuations are the main driver. We've seen a stabilization, and even a slight decrease, in Brent and WTI crude oil benchmarks in international markets. Furthermore, the strengthening of the Rupiah against the US Dollar has also significantly contributed to lowering the cost of importing crude oil and refined products."

Pertamina reaffirms its commitment to conducting regular price reviews, ensuring that the prices offered to the public align with market conditions, in line with transparency and fairness in energy pricing.

Positive Impact on Consumers and the Economy

This non-subsidized fuel price reduction policy is expected to have a positive impact across various sectors. For individual consumers, especially private vehicle and two-wheeler users, this price drop can slightly alleviate monthly expenditure burdens. The logistics and public transportation sectors will also benefit from reduced operational costs, potentially stabilizing or even lowering the prices of goods and services.

"This is a positive signal for the national economy in mid-2026. While the direct impact on overall inflation might not be substantial, it can provide a confidence boost for businesses and consumers," stated Dr. Citra Dewi, an economist from the University of Indonesia. "The government and Pertamina are demonstrating responsiveness to market dynamics, which is crucial for maintaining the investment climate and public purchasing power."

Pertamina continues to urge the public to use energy wisely and utilize the MyPertamina application for easier access to fuel information and transactions.
