What happened
Pertamina is facing fuel supply problems across Bali, with shortages of Pertalite and Pertamax gasoline reported in areas including Badung, Denpasar, Kuta, and Jembrana. Gas stations have run out of stock, leading to long queues and massive traffic congestion. Some drivers have been forced to seek alternative refueling methods, including purchasing fuel from street vendors in plastic bottles.
Why it matters
The shortages are straining logistics and increasing consumer demand, with Pertalite consumption reported up to 2,200 kiloliters per day. The resulting traffic congestion and supply instability are causing unpredictable travel times for tourism operators.
