Shell began its operations in Indonesia in 1928, marking the company's long-standing presence in the region. The introduction of gas stations in Indonesia commenced in November 2005, with the opening of its first station in Lippo Karawaci, Tangerang. This strategic move was part of Shell's broader expansion plan to enhance its retail presence in the Indonesian market, which has been characterized by a growing demand for fuel and energy products. Following the launch in Tangerang, Shell continued to expand its network, opening additional stations, including one in Jakarta on Jalan S. Parman in early 2006. By 2022, Shell had established a significant footprint in Indonesia, offering a range of fuel products to meet the needs of consumers and businesses alike. The entry of Shell into the Indonesian gas station market not only provided consumers with more options but also contributed to the competitive landscape of the fuel retail sector in the country. This expansion has had a notable impact on local economies, creating jobs and fostering partnerships with local suppliers and service providers. As Shell continues to operate in Indonesia, it remains committed to providing high-quality fuel products while also focusing on sustainability and innovation in the energy sector.
