JAKARTA - PT Pertamina (Persero) through its subsidiary Pertamina Patra Niaga noted, until October 2022, as many as 2.8 million vehicles have registered on the subsidy program on target.

Of the 2.8 million vehicles, 70 of them registered for Pertalite type fuel oil (BBM) while the other 30 percent registered for diesel fuel.

"Until yesterday, 2.8 million vehicles have registered with a composition of 70 percent pertalite and 30 percent of diesel," said Pertamina Patra Niaga Corporate Secretary, Irto Ginting to VOI, Wednesday, October 5.

When asked about the implementation of the subsidized fuel purchase restrictions, Irto said that his party is currently still conducting socialization and registration.

Not only that, the implementation of the restrictions also still has to wait for the revision of Presidential Regulation 191 of 2014.

Just so you know, the realization of subsidized diesel until September 30, 2022 has reached 85.82 percent or 12.96 kiloliters (KL), Pertalite reaching 95.32 percent or 21.97 million KL.

Previously, member of the Oil and Gas Committee, Saleh Abdurrahman, estimated that the subsidized fuel oil (BBM) quota of the Pertalite and Solar types for 2022 could potentially run out between October and November if the government does not increase the subsidized fuel quota.

On October 1, the government finally added a subsidized fuel quota of the Solar and Pertalite types.

The addition of Pertalite quota is 6.86 million kiloliters (KL) from the initial quota of 23.05 million KL.

As for Solar subsidies, from the initial quota of this year as many as 15.1 million KL, plus 2.73 million KL.

The addition of the Pertalite and Solar fuel quota was positively welcomed by Pertamina Patra Niaga (PPN).

As an Business Entity that has been assigned a subsidized fuel distribution assignment, this provides certainty of the availability of subsidized fuel for eligible people.

"This is of course good news for the community, there is no need to worry about the availability of pertalite and diesel, this addition is expected to be able to meet the needs of the community until the end of the year," said Irto.
