Pertamina tightens subsidized fuel oversight in West Sumatra and Sulawesi
PT Pertamina Patra Niaga is intensifying oversight of subsidized fuel distribution to ensure it reaches eligible citizens. In West Sumatra, the company has requested the blocking of approximately 5,000 vehicle license plates suspected of repeated subsidized fuel purchases. Additionally, thousands of other license plates have been flagged for data deletion due to non-compliant transaction patterns. As part of these enforcement measures, 31 distributors in West Sumatra have faced sanctions, including coaching and temporary supply suspensions, while three gas stations have undergone management transfers.
In the Sulawesi region, Pertamina Patra Niaga has blocked 4,767 'Subsidi Tepat' QR codes between January and early September 2026 following the identification of irregular or repeated transaction patterns. These monitoring efforts are being conducted in collaboration with local police and government agencies to reduce queues at gas stations and prevent misuse of subsidized fuel.
