Pertamina Targets Merger of Three Subsidiaries by January 2026
The Jakarta Globe | English | News | Nov. 13, 2025 | UndeterminedMergers & Acquisitions
Pertamina, Indonesia’s state-owned energy company, plans to merge three of its main subsidiaries—fuel trading unit Pertamina Patra Niaga, refinery arm Kilang Pertamina Internasional (KPI), and maritime transport unit Pertamina International Shipping (PIS)—by January 1, 2026. The merger aims to consolidate downstream operations, which cover fuel trading, refining, and logistics, into a unified commercial and logistics platform to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve competitiveness amid global energy market pressures.
The merger process is in its final stage and will soon be submitted to the sovereign wealth fund manager Danantara for approval. The consolidation aligns with Danantara’s strategic direction and was previously outlined during a hearing with the House of Representatives in September. Pertamina faces market challenges such as lower oil demand, rising refinery supply, and shrinking margins, which are driving the restructuring and efforts to optimize business processes across all units.
While maintaining its core focus on oil and gas, Pertamina is also accelerating investments in new and renewable energy sources, including solar and hydrogen projects, as part of its long-term transition toward becoming a global-class energy company. The merger and broader operational improvements are intended to strengthen Pertamina’s market position and protect its corporate reputation.
