Jakarta (The Indonesian News) – PT Pertamina (Persero), Indonesia’s state-owned energy company, has pledged to implement three strategic measures to maintain fuel availability and improve service for the public.

“We understand that fuel supplies must remain reliable at all times. As part of our efforts to improve service to the public, we are implementing three strategic commitments,” Pertamina President Director Simon Aloysius Mantiri said in an official statement Saturday, October 24, 2026.

The first measure is to increase fuel supplies and strengthen the reliability of distribution to every public fuel station, known locally as a stasiun pengisian bahan bakar umum (SPBU). The company expects this to help maintain adequate fuel stocks across the country.

The second measure is to extend operating hours and deploy additional fuel tanker trucks and gas station attendants to improve service for customers. The third is to introduce additional service options.

“These include adding service points through modular gas stations and providing packaged fuel that can be delivered directly to customers’ vehicles at gas stations,” Simon added.

He said Pertamina, as a state-owned enterprise, has a mandate to supply fuel to all Indonesians. The company is therefore committed to continuing to serve the public and meet fuel demand nationwide.

Pertamina will also continue coordinating with the central and regional governments, the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), the Indonesian National Police (Polri), and relevant community groups to ensure reliable fuel supplies.

“We would like to thank all Indonesians for their patience, understanding, support, and continued trust. We also thank the central and regional governments, the TNI, the Polri, and everyone who has helped improve the smooth distribution of energy to the public,” Simon said.
