PT Pertamina (Persero) has adjusted the prices of Pertamax, Pertalite, and Dexlite by Rp 150, effective today, Friday, December 16, 2016. This price applies to all regions in Indonesia. In DKI Jakarta, the price of Pertamax has increased to Rp 7,750 per liter from Rp 7,600 per liter, Pertalite to Rp 7,050 per liter, and Dexlite to Rp 6,900 per liter. The prices of the high-octane variants, namely Pertamax Plus, Pertamax Turbo, and Pertamina Dex, remain unchanged.
This adjustment in the price of special fuel (BBK) is Pertamina's response to the development of the gasoline market index price for the price determination period of mid-December 2016.
