A Total Of 131,402 Vehicles In South Sumatra Registered For Pertalite's Right Subsidy

PT Pertamina Patra Niaga noted that 131,402 vehicles in South Sumatra Province (Sumsel) have been registered with the subsidized fuel program from Pertalite to September 2024.

"As of September 2024, 131,402 Pertalite users have been verified and received a QR code for the South Sumatra region," said Area Manager Communication, Relations & CSR of Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Sumbagsel Tjahyo Nikho Indrawan as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, October 2.

He said the registration of the subsidy program for the purchase of Pertalite fuel specifically for four-wheeled vehicles continues to be opened to people in the Sumbagsel region which includes South Sumatra, Lampung, and Jambi.

The public can take advantage of this opportunity so that the distribution of subsidized fuel is more targeted.

"Currently, the entire registration process is still open, we urge the public to immediately register their vehicles in the Pertalite subsidy program so that subsidized fuel can really be distributed to the people who are entitled," he said.

He explained, to register for a subsidy program, consumers can exactly go through the website http://subsidi tepat.mypertamina.id/ or visit the nearest gas station.

Prepare the required documents during registration including photos of ID cards, STNK photos (appearing front and rear), photos of vehicles looking front and side to make them look like wheels and police numbers and KIR photos for KIR user vehicles.

For all documents to make sure they are read clearly and sent in a photo format (jpg).

In addition, make sure the uploaded photo clearly shows a police number and with a high resolution to facilitate the verification process.

"After the vehicle is verified, please download or print out the QR code that has been received or screened with a soft copy to be used at Pertamina gas stations," he explained.

Nikho added that the purpose of implementing Pertalite purchases using a QR Code is to implement Pertalite subsidized fuel users for four wheels that are more targeted. Meanwhile, the current two-wheelers are not required.

"The purpose of the right subsidy program is to record vehicles using Pertalite subsidized fuel. Similar to the implementation of the QR code solar subsidy that has been running, the Pertalite QR code program is a form of the company's efforts to record Pertalite better and more transparently," he said.

According to the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No.37.K/HK.02/MEM.M/2022, Nikho added, Pertalite (RON 90) was designated as assigned fuel by the government, so steps were needed so that subsidized fuel including Pertalite was more targeted.
