Denpasar — PT Pertamina Patra Niaga is adding 57,9 million litres of fuel to Bali between Oct. 14 and Oct. 17, 2026, while preparing 60 more petrol stations in Denpasar to operate around the clock.

The additional supply comprises 44,9 million litres of Pertalite and 13 million litres of Pertamax. Tankers are scheduled to arrive in stages through the Manggis terminal in Karangasem and the Sanggaran terminal in Denpasar, as the company works to restore fuel services and ease vehicle queues.

Pertamina is also expanding 24-hour service in Denpasar.

Why it matters to Bali visitors and residents

For foreign residents, tourists and businesses that depend on road transport, the measure means that fuel access in Denpasar is being expanded at the same time as deliveries are increased. The announcement does not establish a new fuel rule for foreigners or specify different access requirements. It describes a supply and operating-hours response to queues at petrol stations.

The tanker schedule runs from Oct. 14 through Oct. 17. Deliveries will be staged through the two terminals before fuel is distributed to petrol stations. Pertamina said the longer operating hours are intended to widen the period in which the public can obtain fuel and help reduce queues.

In practical terms, the announced changes concern availability and station hours rather than a change in fuel prices, eligibility or documentation. The reports do not state that every station in Bali will operate 24 hours; the 60 additional stations specifically concern Denpasar.
