-- Indonesia has lifted prices for high-grade diesel to their highest levels in years, while leaving subsidized fuels unchanged in a bid to balance market costs with consumer protection.
State-owned Pertamina raised its premium diesel, Pertamina Dex, by 16.7% to 27,900 rupiah per liter, the highest since its launch. Its Dexlite variant also climbed to 26,000 rupiah per liter from 23,600 rupiah, reportedly.
Gasoline saw milder adjustments, with Pertamax Turbo edging up, while key mainstream fuels and subsidized products including Pertalite and Biosolar remained unchanged. The company said the move reflects efforts to manage business sustainability without straining public purchasing power, the news outlet said.
