Pertamina Tembus 5 Million Registrants Proper Subsidy Program, Pertalite Users Reach 54 Percent

JAKARTA - Pertamina Patra Niaga reported that until the end of February 2023, the Proper Subsidy registrant was recorded to have reached more than 5 million vehicles.

Pertamina Patra Niaga's Corporate Secretary, Irto Ginting, explained that of the more than five million vehicles registered in the Proper Subsidy Program, Pertalite vehicle types reached 54 percent, and subsidized subsidized diesel user vehicles reached 46 percent.

"From this data, Pertalite users who register 80% are dominated by private users. Meanwhile, the composition of Solar is quite balanced between private users and public transportation," he told the media, Wednesday, March 1.

He explained that the Proper Subsidy Program aims to record vehicles using Pertalite and Solar.

Through data collection, Irto hopes that the distribution of subsidized fuel can be more monitored and screened for fraud or abuse in the field, so that subsidized fuel is distributed to people who are entitled.

"Currently Pertamina Patra Niaga continues to socialize and educate on registration procedures, as well as test the readiness to verify the QR Code. We also continue to monitor the progress of the revision of Presidential Regulation No. 191 of 2014 which is a reference regulation for determining the distribution of subsidized fuel," said Irto.

In increasing the number of registrants, Irto said to make it easier for the community, Pertamina Patra Niaga also continues to add direct registration booth points.

For people who have internet and cellphone access, online registration also continues to be ensured that there are no obstacles through the subsidy website to be precise.mypertamina.id and the Subsidy menu Right in the MyPertamina application.

“Ada lebih dari 1.300 titik booth pendaftaran offline yang tersebar diseluruh Indonesia, lokasinya bisa dicek langsung melalui https://mypertamina.id/lokasi-pendaftaran-offline-bbm-subsidi-tepat. Selain mendorong masyarakat mendaftar, kami juga memastikan proses verifikasi berjalan dengan maksimal sehingga prosesnya bisa tepat waktu,” lanjut Irto.

Irto continues to remind people who feel they have the right to receive subsidized fuel to immediately register their vehicles.

This Proper Subsidy Program in the future will be synergized with regulations for determining the distribution of subsidized fuel determined by the government.

"This is a step taken by the Government and Pertamina in ensuring that fuel subsidies are more targeted, as a form of protection for people who are entitled to enjoy fuel subsidies, vulnerable people who really need energy at affordable prices for their needs," concluded Irto.
