Pertamina Blocks 260,000 Cars at Gas Stations, This is the Reason News – 25 minutes ago


Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, Subholding Commercial & Trading Pertamina, has blocked hundreds of thousands of vehicles that are not entitled to fill with subsidized fuel oil (BBM). This follows the mandatory registration for subsidized fuel consumers in the MyPertamina Appropriate Subsidy program.

President Director of Pertamina Patra Niaga Riva Siahaan said that his party had blocked at least 260 thousand vehicles that consumed subsidized diesel or certain types of fuel (JBT).

He detailed that as many as 228 thousand vehicles were blocked as of November 19 2023 because the police numbers of JBT Solar Subsidized consumers were not registered with Korlantas. The remaining 32 thousand vehicles were also blocked because the vehicles did not match the data from Korlantas, shunts, and photos indicated that they had been edited.


“We can report in the numbers on the right the current process where there are registrants to enter the Pertamina system and in the processing that we have carried out, we can say that there are 228 thousand (vehicles) that we have blocked because they are not included or are not in the traffic police data,” said Riva in the Hearing Meeting (RDP) of Commission VII DPR RI, Jakarta, quoted on Thursday (23/11/2023).

Riva also said that his party is currently checking or re-verifying vehicle data on Samsat.

“There are 3 reasons, firstly it doesn’t match the data from Korlantas, then it is indicated that some of the traffickers are doing the filling over and over again, then once again the edited photos that are included in the data submitted are indicated to be fake, so this is what we are doing,” he added.

Apart from that, Riva said that his party had succeeded in reducing the quota for subsidized fuel, especially subsidized diesel. Pertamina managed to save 1.3 million kilo liters (kl) for subsidized diesel and for Pertalite it reached 1.7 million kl.

“Where the control of JBT and JBKP or Pertalite and also Solar, namely the Appropriate Subsidy from Solar, results in savings or reductions in consumption of 1.3 million kl, while for Pertalite up to now it is below the quota at 1.7 kl, ” he explained.

Then, Pertamina recorded the population of gasoil (diesel) vehicles at 9,964,575. Meanwhile, for petrol vehicles, it is 120,089,760 for two-wheeled vehicles, and 22,507,632 for four-wheeled vehicles.

The total number of registrants recorded in the MyPertamina Exact Subsidy is 7,898,648 vehicles, with details of 6,114,262 for vehicles that consume subsidized diesel and 3,088,167 for vehicles that consume Pertalite.
