The use for parcels was recorded at 52.22 percent, clinker at 42.42 percent, and cement at 42.04 percent.
The details help the company read the energy needs of each service proportionally without mixing allocations between activities.
KAI Corporate Communication Vice President Anne Purba said that the management of subsidized fuel was placed within the framework of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) or good corporate governance, especially through data transparency, accountability for use, compliance with provisions, and periodic control.
"Every liter of subsidized fuel is a trust that must be managed with the right target and can be accounted for. Use data is monitored based on quotas, realization, quota balance, service type, and operating area," Anne said in an official statement, Monday, July 20.
According to Anne, data-based monitoring allows companies to control energy use according to the needs of each service without mixing subsidy allocations.
"Data-based supervision gives companies room to see patterns of use early on. When there is a change in operational needs, the handling can be done while still referring to the provisions and availability of quotas," he said.
Based on the area of operation, the largest use of subsidized fuel for passenger train services was recorded in Operation Area 8 Surabaya with 26,643,480 liters, followed by Operation Area 1 Jakarta with 26,260,574 liters and Operation Area 6 Yogyakarta with 13,088,062 liters.
As part of strengthening governance, KAI also separates the recording of the use of subsidized and non-subsidized fuel. As of July 13, 2026, the realization of the use of non-subsidized fuel reached 20,673,801 liters or 52.88 percent of the annual target of 39,098,121 liters.
Thus, the total use of subsidized and non-subsidized fuel reached 140,116,715 liters or 55.29 percent of the overall target for 2026.
The use of non-subsidized fuel includes coal logistics services of 13,141,066 liters, fuel logistics services of 3,089,035 liters, activities outside the passenger and freight train services of 3,130,509 liters, pulp of 815,253 liters, crude palm oil of 307,972 liters, legal hall activities of 153,016 liters, and fertilizer of 36,950 liters.
"Separating subsidies and non-subsidies is an important part of governance discipline. Subsidy allocations are used according to their provisions, while needs outside the allocation are recorded as non-subsidy use," explained Anne.
KAI also began implementing biodiesel B50 gradually on diesel facilities since July 1, 2026.
Anne said the implementation of the mixed fuel biodiesel and solar was carried out after undergoing technical testing and evaluating safety and operational reliability.
"The transition to B50 is carried out in a measured manner. Energy management, technical readiness, travel safety, and service continuity must be in one set of controls," concluded Anne.
