Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia’s Transportation Minister Dudy Purwagandhi said fuel and aviation fuel supplies will remain sufficient for the Eid 1447 Hijri travel period despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.He said national reserves of aviation fuel and petroleum are adequate to support air, land, and sea transport during the mudik holiday season.“Alhamdulillah, fuel supplies remain safe until Eid as our aviation fuel and BBM reserves are sufficient,” Dudy told reporters in Jakarta on Friday night.He was responding to Energy Minister Bahlil Lahadalia’s statement that national fuel reserves could last about 21 days.Dudy clarified that the 21-day figure reflects current storage capacity, not total reserves, and that the government can store additional fuel if capacity allows.“The 21 days is not the total consumption limit but the minimum we must maintain. If stock falls, Pertamina and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) will replenish it,” he said.The government maintains fuel reserves at a minimum 21-day level through regular replenishment to ensure national supply stability.He added that if global supply is disrupted, Indonesia can source fuel from alternative exporters to meet domestic needs.“Only 20 percent of global supply comes from the Strait of Hormuz, so we have other sources for BBM (fuel),” Dudy said.Authorities continuously monitor energy supply conditions to ensure fuel distribution for transportation remains uninterrupted despite global market dynamics.Cross-ministerial coordination is ongoing to manage energy reserves effectively, supporting smooth transport operations during Eid, the minister said.With these measures, the government is confident transportation services will operate normally, with aviation and fuel supplies secure for nationwide transport.Earlier, Energy Minister Bahlil Lahadalia addressed reports claiming Indonesia’s fuel stock would last only 20 days due to Middle East conflicts.​​​​​​​Bahlil said the figure reflects storage capacity, not an emergency, noting Indonesia’s tanks historically hold 21–25 days of national fuel requirements.The minimum national standard is 20–21 days, with average reserves at 22–23 days, according to Bahlil’s report to the National Energy Council.He said storage limits, not supply shortages, account for perceived constraints and requested media coverage not create public misunderstandings about fuel availability.Indonesia continues to monitor, replenish, and manage fuel reserves to ensure uninterrupted supply and stable transport operations throughout the Eid holiday period.
