The Indonesian government confirmed that there will be no additional fuel imports for private fuel stations, including Shell, BP, and Vivo. "Imports should be synchronized with Pertamina, ourstate-owned oil and oil company," Laode Sulaeman, Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, said on September 9, 2025.
Laode noted that this policy was conveyed during a morning meeting with representatives from Shell, BP AKR, and Vivo. The discussion focused on public concerns and the central issue of fuel imports.
At the end of the meeting, Laode instructed Shell, BP AKR, and Vivo to source their imported fuel from Pertamina, a directive from Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia. He underscored that the policy on synchronizing fuel quality standards has been established and stipulated in regulations issued by the Directorate General of Oil and Gas, which govern fuel specifications.
"So, this quality has been regulated; there shouldn't be any issues with the specifications," said Laode.
He also clarified that the government had already allocated an additional 10 percent of last year's import volume to private fuel station operators. "And it is expected that private businesses can utilize this surplus volume to distribute their gasoline,” he said.
