Deputy Minister Of Industry Says Trump's Policy Makes Incentives IDR 7 Million For Electric Motors 2025 Detained

Deputy Minister of Industry (Wamenperin) Faisol Riza revealed that the provision of subsidies of Rp. 7 million per unit for electric motorcycles is still in process this year.

This was conveyed by Faisol when met by the media crew at his office, Monday, April 28. "It's still in progress," he said.

Faisol said that one of the reasons why the subsidy was still being held back was because of the tariff policy for the President of the United States (US) Donald Trump.

"Because there is a process of Trump's tariff, which then makes us have to be pending for a while," he said.

However, Faisol still ensures that the provision of electricity motor subsidies will continue this year. "But, it will continue," he added.

Last year, the Government through the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) established various conditions for submitting electric motor subsidies as regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Industry (Permenperin) Number 21 of 2023.

The regulation is a revision of Permenperin Number 6 of 2023 which regulates guidelines for government assistance for the purchase of two-wheeled battery-based electric vehicles (KBLBB).

A subsidy of IDR 7 million is given for one ID card, which means each individual can only apply for a subsidy once. This policy reflects government support in accelerating the development of electric motors in Indonesia as part of the clean energy transition.

In the 2024 subsidy program, the government allocated 200,000 units of new electric motors and 50,000 units of conversion motors with a total budget of IDR 1.75 trillion. The quota is planned to continue to increase to reach 1 million units by 2024 and is likely to be further expanded in 2025.
