Important To Remember, Consumers Are Still Mandatory To Register Mypertamina Despite The Price Of Pertalite Cs Rising

JAKARTA - The government plans to increase the price of subsidized fuel oil (BBM) types of Pertalite and Solar in the near future.

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said the increase in fuel oil prices (BBM) was still being calculated.

On the other hand, the government is also preparing the right subsidy program by continuing the initiative to register the Proper Subsidy Program as an effort to distribute subsidies that are more targeted.

Pertamina Patra Niaga's Corporate Secretary, Irto Ginting explained that the Proper Subsidy Program currently aims to record vehicles using Pertalite and Solar.

Irto reminded that the public still needs to register the subsidy program properly even though the price of Pertalite has been raised by the government.

Pertamina needs to record subsidized fuel consumption so that its distribution can be more monitored and prevent fraud or abuse in the field. Currently, the focus is still on registration and ensuring the readiness of the system and operations in the field while continuing to monitor the progress of the revision of Presidential Regulation No. 191 of 2014 which is a reference regulation for determining the distribution of subsidized fuel," explained Irto in a statement to the media, Thursday, September 1.

Irto said that this right subsidy program will be synergized with regulations for determining the distribution of subsidized fuel determined by the government.

"This is a step by the Government and Pertamina in ensuring that fuel subsidies are more targeted, as a form of protection to people who are entitled to enjoy fuel subsidies, vulnerable people who really need energy at affordable prices for their needs," continued Irto.

In increasing the number of registrants, Irto said to make it easier for the community, Pertamina Patra Niaga also continued to add direct registration booth points.

For people who have internet and smartphone access, online registration also continues to be ensured that there are no problems through the subsidy website right.mypertamina.id and the Subsidy menu Right in the MyPertamina application.

“Ada lebih dari 1.300 titik booth pendaftaran offline yang tersebar di seluruh Indonesia, lokasinya bisa dicek langsung melalui https://mypertamina.id/lokasi-pendaftaran-offline-bbm-subsidi-tepat. Selain mendorong masyarakat mendaftar, kami juga memastikan proses verifikasi berjalan dengan maksimal sehingga prosesnya bisa tepat waktu,” lanjut Irto.

Irto added that people who feel they have the right to receive subsidized fuel should immediately register their vehicles.

Pertamina Patra Niaga is also currently testing the readiness to verify the QR Code at several points.
