Indonesia has reinforced its energy resilience by stopping diesel imports in early 2026, ensuring sufficient domestic supply despite ongoing global uncertainties. The government confirmed that national diesel stocks remain stable, supported by enhanced refinery capacity and strategic planning, helping the country stay protected from potential global supply disruptions.

This achievement is largely driven by the Refinery Development Master Plan, including the expansion of the Balikpapan refinery, which significantly increased processing capacity. The policy also encourages private fuel providers to source supply domestically, strengthening national energy independence. While Indonesia still imports gasoline and LPG, authorities continue to secure alternative sources and maintain adequate reserves, ensuring stability and public confidence amid global tensions.
