Fuel distribution disruptions in Bali and East Java have been addressed following delays in tanker shipments from Java. To prevent future shortages, Minister Bahlil Lahadalia has directed Pertamina to increase Bali’s fuel reserves from the current 11–12 days to a 15-day standard. Seven extra ships have also been deployed to bolster the supply chain to the island. In Bali, Governor Wayan Koster has extended an odd-even vehicle policy at fuel stations until October 23, 2026, to manage demand and maintain stable distribution. Meanwhile, officials in East Java confirmed that fuel stocks remain secure through the end of October, despite previous queues in areas such as Jember and Malang.
