The Jakarta Industry, Trade, Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises Agency (PPKUKM) guarantees that the stock of non-subsidized 5.5-kg and 12-kg LPG cylinders in Jakarta remains secure following the price adjustments effective as of April 18, 2026

Jakarta PPKUKM Agency Head, Elisabeth Ratu Rante Allo stated that the 12 kg LPG is a non-public service obligation (NPSO) or non-subsidized product. These price adjustments, she added, are in line with global market dynamics.

“The price of 12 kg LPG has increased by Rp 36,000, or approximately 18.75 percent, rising from Rp 192,000 to Rp 228,000 per cylinder. Meanwhile, the 5.5 kg LPG rose by Rp I7,000, or about 18.89 percent, from Rp 90,000 to Rp 107,000 per cylinder,” she expressed, Wednesday (4/22).

She explained that the price adjustment for non-subsidized LPG is driven by various external factors. These include the surge in global LPG contract prices (CP Aramco), the rising Indonesian Crude Price (ICP), and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that impact global energy logistics routes.

Regarding stock levels in Jakarta, the Jakarta government continues to maintain close coordination with PT Pertamina Patra Niaga and Hiswana Migas to ensure seamless distribution. Consequently, she urged the public to refrain from panic buying.

"According to field observations, stocks of 5.5-kg and 12-kg LPG remain stable at agents and outlets. Distribution to all depots and distributors throughout Jakarta’s five administrative cities and Seribu Islands is running smoothly," she explained.

Additionally, the Jakarta Government is preparing for a possible migration from 12-kg LPG to subsidized 3-kg units following price increases. This includes intensifying oversight and education to ensure the subsidies reach the intended recipients.

Ratu also urged civil servants and the affluent community to stick with non-subsidized LPG.

"We're working with Pertamina, Hiswana Migas, and various stakeholders to monitor LPG consumption in the non-MSME sector, including restaurants, cafes, and hotels," she stated.

Regular inspections are held at agent and retail levels to guarantee that the 3-kg LPG quota is properly allocated and prices stay fixed. Regarding the purchase process, consumers are still required to present their ID cards, following the central government's guidelines.

"By regulation, buying 3-kg LPG at authorized sub-agents requires a registered ID in Pertamina’s Merchant Apps (MAP). Each transaction is logged to help manage the distribution of subsidized LPG and keep it well-targeted," she added.

Jakarta government views the impact of non-subsidized LPG price increases on local inflation as minimal, given that 3-kg LPG prices are steady.

"Provided that subsidized 3-kg LPG is accessible and prices do not fluctuate, the community’s basic needs will stay secured. The Jakarta government will keep tracking the situation via the Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID)," she stated.
