JAKARTA – The price of fuel oil (BBM) non-subsidies will start to increase starting Saturday 18 April 2026. This price adjustment applies to a number of products, including Pertamax Turbo, Dexlite and Pertamina Dex.

Even so, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia confirmed that the price of subsidized fuel oil (BBM) will not increase until the end of 2026. He also hopes that the policy will apply forever.

“Insya Allah aman. Sekali lagi saya katakan bahwa kami sudah bersepakat atas arahan Bapak Presiden bahwa harga BBM untuk subsidi tidak akan dinaikkan sampai dengan akhir tahun, insya Allah sampai selama-lamanya,” said Bahlil, quoted from a post on his Instagram account.

It is known that apart from Pertamax Turbo, the increase also occurred in Dexlite, which is now priced at IDR 23,600 per liter, from previously IDR 14,200 per liter. Meanwhile, Pertamina Dex increased to IDR 23,900 per liter from the previous price of IDR 14,500 per liter.
