Jakarta –
PT Pertamina (Persero) will sell Pertalite for Premium throughout Java. It is a program that aims to make consumers switch from Premium to Pertalite.
Pertamina Subholding Commercial & Trading CEO Mas’ud Khamid explained that the program had already been implemented in Bali and South Tangerang.
“We launched the Blue Sky program, which is a program by giving Pertalite discounts at premium prices for the first 2 months,” he said in a hearing (RDP) with Commission VII of the Indonesian Parliament, Monday (5/10/2020).
Then, in the next 2 months the discount is reduced by Rp. 400, and in the next 2 months the discount is reduced again by Rp. 400 while seeing whether there is another migration from Pertalite to Premium users.
Later, the program will also be implemented in Java and Sumatra.
“In the future, along with the direction from the Ministry, we will enter all of Java. So, we will promote Java-Bali first, then we will enter Sumatra, namely West Sumatra, Palembang and so on,” he explained.
He explained the criteria for the cities selected for the Blue Sky program, first are cities that have sufficient purchasing power to buy higher fuel. The second criterion is cities whose Premium consumption is still very high.
Pertalite for Premium is not given to all vehicles. There are criteria set by Pertamina as a beneficiary of this discount.
“Those who are entitled to get Pertalite at the same price as Premium are one motorbike, all motorbikes. In the future we may reduce the big CC motorbikes. The second is all yellow-plate public transportation. The third is all yellow plate taxis. Pertalite normal prices, “he added.
