JAKARTA - Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said that the discussion regarding the electric motor incentive for 2026 is still being discussed with the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu). Hopefully, the discussion can be immediately resolved and implemented.
According to Agus, coordination is still being carried out because the government is encouraging the increase in the consumption of electric motorcycles in the country.
"We are talking to the Ministry of Finance, especially for electric motor incentives," Agus told reporters in Jakarta, quoted on Friday, April 10.
Agus emphasized that this was also part of President Prabowo Subianto's direction to develop an electric vehicle ecosystem. The policy is to reduce dependence on fossil energy.
"The desire of the President is very clear, all vehicles are based on electricity in the future. Yes, because now it is increasingly apparent that it is important to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels," he said.
Regarding the amount of the incentive provided, Agus said, it was still under discussion. However, it is not impossible that the amount will be the same as last year.
"(Electric motor incentives will increase) it is still being discussed," he added.
To note, the Government through the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) has set various requirements for the submission of electric motor subsidies which are regulated in the Minister of Industry Regulation (Permenperin) Number 21 of 2023.
The regulation is a revision of Permenperin Number 6 of 2023 which regulates government assistance guidelines for the purchase of two-wheeled battery-based electric vehicles (KBLBB).
A subsidy of Rp7 million is given for one KTP, which means each individual can only apply for a subsidy once. This policy reflects the government's 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 new electric motor units and 50,000 converted motor units with a total budget of IDR 1.75 trillion.
