Bali Governor Wayan Koster has extended the odd-even fuel rationing system at gas stations across the island until Friday, October 23, as authorities continue efforts to stabilize fuel distribution.
“We are extending the odd-even arrangement—which was set to end today—starting tomorrow and continuing through Friday, October 23,” Koster told reporters at the Sanggaran Fuel Terminal in Denpasar on Monday (October 19, 2026).
Koster said the provincial government has introduced several measures to address recent fuel shortages in Bali, including work-from-home arrangements, online learning, and the odd-even refueling system. The policy is designed to spread out vehicle arrivals at gas stations and prevent large crowds from forming at the same time.
“We are extending the odd-even arrangement, which was scheduled to end today; it will continue from tomorrow until Friday, October 23,” Koster said.
According to Koster, fuel deliveries to gas stations have generally run smoothly from Saturday (October 17) through Monday. In some locations, queues have already disappeared altogether.
“Over the past few days, the situation has returned to normal. Conditions are now good, much like they were before the disruption occurred,” he said.
Although conditions are improving, the provincial government has decided to keep the policy in place for a few more days to ensure fuel supplies and services remain stable.
Bali Fuel Stocks Sufficient for Up to 12 Days
Following a coordination meeting with Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia and PT Pertamina President Director Simon Aloysius Mantiri, Koster said current fuel stocks are estimated to be sufficient to meet Bali’s demand for the next 11 to 12 days.
“Earlier in the meeting, the Minister confirmed that fuel stocks are available and sufficient for the next 11 to 12 days, and supplies will be increased further. We at the regional level will also support Pertamina’s operations on the ground,” he said.
While the odd-even system is currently scheduled to remain in effect until October 23, Koster said the policy could be lifted earlier if fuel distribution fully returns to normal. Authorities will continue to evaluate the situation based on developments in the field.
