PT Pertamina Patra Niaga will allow stalls that have not been registered as sub-baselines to sell 3 kg LPG cylinders during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.
Pertamina Patra Niaga President Director, Riva Siahaan said, currently there are 273 LPG bases that will be alerted during the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr periods. Meanwhile, there are 370,000 sub-bases that will also be fully alerted for the smooth supply of LPG to the community
"However, for sub-bases that have started operating but have not been registered, we will continue to support them," Riva said in a Hearing Meeting with Commission XII of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Thursday, February 20.
Riva added that currently there are approximately 2 million registrants who are still at the registration stage. He ensured that Pertamina would not reduce the operational activities of unregistered stalls.
Riva projects that LPG needs in the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr periods will increase by 6.7 percent from normal consumption.
"We ensure that especially during the Ramadan service and Eid al-Fitr services for 3 kg LPG will run smoothly. God willing," said Riva.

Just so you know, as of February 4, 2025, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia announced that 3 kg LPG retailers can now return to selling melon gas with a new status as a sub-dimmer.
Bahlil said, later this sub-division will be equipped with IT facilities such as the Pertamina Merchant Application (MAP) application which will be used to record 3 kg LPG users. This application, said Bahlil, will record buyer data, the number of gas cylinders purchased along with prices so that subsidy distribution can really be controlled.
"So starting today, retailers throughout Indonesia, under the name sub-basement. Later Pertamina and ESDM will equip them with an application system and their process into sub-basement is not subject to any fees, we will even proactively register them as a formal part so that they can become MSMEs," Bahlil said during an inspection at Palmerah, West Jakarta, Tuesday, February 4.
