Fuel Shortage Hits Bali and 11 Indonesian Provinces as Import Supplies Shrink

A severe fuel shortage has hit Bali and at least 11 Indonesian provinces, leaving motorists facing long queues and some filling stations unable to sell petrol or diesel. Reports indicate that diesel and Pertalite, a widely used subsidised petrol product, have sold out in several areas. In West Sumatra, drivers reportedly wait up to three hours, while diesel queues in Banten have stretched for about a kilometre. Officials link the disruption to reduced fuel imports amid the conflict involving Iran. Indonesia has reportedly lost about a quarter of its import sources and is seeking emergency supplies through direct negotiations. Authorities in Bali are considering rationing subsidised fuel to protect supplies for essential transport and lower-income residents.
