Energy Minister Bahlil Talks Possible Nonsubsidized Fuel Price Drop in July 2026

Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia said that nonsubsidized fuel price adjustments follow global oil price movements and exchange rates. He responded to the possibility of prices going down in July 2026 after global crude oil prices had fallen earlier. When met at the parliament complex on Monday (6/29/2026), Bahlil casually answered reporters' questions, "We'll just see later." He also reminded that the government didn't raise prices when global oil went up for almost three months. Previously, as of June 10, 2026, Pertamina Patra Niaga adjusted Pertamax (RON 92) to Rp16,250 per liter and Pertamax Green (RON 95) to Rp17,000 per liter. Further decisions await government evaluation. https://www.urbanjabar.com/news/9217312281/menteri-esdm-bahlil-buka-suara-soal-peluang-bbm-nonsubsidi-turun-di-bulan-juli-2026-kita-lihat-nanti

Alhamdulillah if global oil prices drop, hopefully the price of Pertamax will come down too. Feel bad for our brothers who use their own cars for their businesses.

Pertamax price is now Rp16,250, man, that's crazy expensive. I remember back then it was still in the tens of thousands. Hopefully the government actually does a proper evaluation and lowers it, not just empty promises.

Oil's been up three months and prices haven't gone up? Kinda hard to believe, they're usually so quick to jack up prices. But oh well, hopefully in July they actually drop.

Bahlil’s so chill about it, like, "we’ll just see later." Thing is, we actually need some certainty on fuel prices, especially the non-subsidized ones. Really hoping by July they actually drop, so we don’t end up even more broke.
