JAKARTA - PT Pertamina (Persero) recorded an increase in consumption of fuel oil (BBM) at the peak of the homecoming flow on H-2 before Lebaran, which increased by 41 percent compared to normal conditions.
This condition is much higher than the initial estimate which the average during the homecoming period increased by 11 percent.
"In the backflow, Pertamina managed to meet the BBM needs of travelers, which increased by more than 29 percent at its peak, the figure looks lower because the distribution of backflow travelers is more flexible," said President Director of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Sub Holding Commercial & Trading PT Pertamina ( Persero) Alfian Nasution in an official statement, Tuesday 10 May.
All homecomers, said Alfian, are served optimally and Pertamina continues to monitor every day so that stock and distribution at gas stations run well.
"To meet the extraordinary need for fuel throughout this homecoming and return flow," he explained.
