PT Pertamina Patra Niaga noted that to date, at least 41.8 million NIKs have registered at the right subsidy and 86 percent of the total registrants are dominated by households.

Pertamina Regional Marketing Director Patra Niaga Mars Ega Legowo Putra explained that from October to December 2023, it had started with recording and as of January 1, 2024, Pertamina continued to encourage 100 percent of MAP transaction records.

Then in February 2024, there were around 204,000 bases or 82 percent of the total number of bases that had recorded 100 percent.

Then in March 2024 the number will continue to grow to 91 percent of the total number of bases that have recorded 100 percent, it is hoped that all bases can continue to increase the effectiveness of recording.

"As of April 2024, this record has improved nationally, it has reached 98 percent, so that on a large scale basis, for June 1, it will be 100 percent, I think this is quite ready," he said in a statement to the media quoted on Monday, May 13.

However, Mars said, during the socialization period of the right subsidy program, his party was still waiting for a series of policies in situations if the system was down and so on, so Pertamina had the same views and procedures for how to distribute this to conditions that were not as expected.

On the other hand, the Director of Logistics and Infrastructure of PT Pertamina (Persero) Alfian Nasution explained that basically Pertamina as the recipient of the 3 kg LPG distribution task, welcomed the socialization of Kepdirjan Migas concerning Guidelines for Verification of 3 kg LPG Refill Volume.

"We also hope that later all AGM present can be fully supported and all LPG bases and agents can actually run it well," he continued.

Alfian added, since March 1, 2023 when Pertamina launched MAP, the Pertamina base Merchant Apps has many obstacles found in the field.

"We also report that as many as 250,147 of our bases are ready to run this," concluded Alfian.
