S
tate-owned energy giant Pertamina has lowered the prices for its range of gasoline variants, including Pertamax, Pertamax Turbo, Pertamina Dex and Dexlite.
The lower prices have been in effect since the early hours of Sunday.
The price reduction was in accordance with a recently issued Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry Decree on prices of gasoline sold at public gas stations.
Pertamina spokesperson Fajriyah Usman said the price reduction was implemented throughout the country.
“The gasoline price adjustment is a corporate move that is in line with a government regulation,” Fajriyah said in a statement on Saturday, adding that the company had communicated with the relevant government agencies regarding the latest price adjustment.
The new prices for Pertamax, Pertamax Turbo, Pertamina Dex and Dexlite vary between regions across the country due to different fuel taxes.
In Jakarta, the price of Pertamax was reduced to Rp 9,200 (US$0.66) per liter from Rp 9,850, Pertamax Turbo to Rp 9,900 from Rp 11,200, Pertamina Dex to Rp 10,200 from Rp 11,700 and Dexlite to Rp 9,500 from Rp 10,200. (rfa)
