Government freezes Pertalite, Biosolar prices through end-2026
LPG 3 kg will also stay frozen, while Bahlil pushes for stronger supply and distribution to prevent longer gas station lines.
The government will keep subsidized fuel prices unchanged through Dec. 31, 2026, amid rising global energy prices. Pertalite will remain at Rp10.000 per liter and subsidized Biosolar at Rp6.800 per liter, following President Prabowo Subianto’s direction that subsidy recipients should not face higher costs. Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia also said the price of LPG 3 kg will be held until the end of the year. At the same time, he called for stronger supply and more distribution vehicles because the gap with nonsubsidized fuel could shift consumption and trigger lines at gas stations. For Maluku, Bahlil also asked BPH Migas to add kerosene quotas ahead of Christmas 2026, New Year 2027 and the fasting month.
