JAKARTA - Pertamina Patra Niaga has added around 133,000 subsidized liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders in Bali to anticipate an increase in demand for the long-term holiday of Isra Mikraj.
"Fuel oil (BBM) and LPG stocks are ensured to be sufficient and all infrastructure has been alerted," said Manager of Communication, Relations and CSR of Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional East Java, Bali and Nusa Tenggara (Jatimbalinus) Ahad Rahedi, quoted by Antara.
He explained that the additional allocation is estimated to reach 50 percent of the average daily distribution of LPG size three kilograms.
The additional stock, he said, was also outside of regular distribution to anticipate a surge in demand, especially during long holidays that coincide with weekends.
Meanwhile, the Bali Provincial Government has set the highest retail price of LPG 3 kilograms to reach Rp. 18 thousand per tube in accordance with the Bali Governor's Decree Number 63 of 2022.
He invited the public to buy subsidized LPG at official bases according to HET.
Ahad also invited the public to remain calm and not to make excessive purchases because energy stocks are safe and sufficient in Bali.
"We appeal to the public to remain calm and not buy products in excess, especially LPG. The public should not be easily provoked by information that is not necessarily true, so that the public's concerns are not exploited by irresponsible individuals," concluded Ahad.
He also invited the public to be able to use LPG according to its allocation, where LPG 3 Kg is a subsidized product that is specifically intended for the poor.
Meanwhile, for those who can afford it, it is hoped that they will buy non-subsidized LPG, namely bright gas.
As an illustration, in 2025, Bali received a subsidy quota of LPG of 231,192 metric tons.
The average monthly distribution reaches 19,835 metric tons or an average distribution of 798 metric tons per day with 266,000 tubes per day.
The distribution was carried out to 123 agents throughout Bali and then distributed by agents to around 5,000 bases.
