PT Pertamina (Persero) ensures that fuel oil (BBM) and LPG stocks are safe during Ramadan and Idul Fitri (RAFI) this year. Pertamina predicts that fuel consumption will increase by 5-6%, but the available stock reaches 10-15%.
“The stock is very safe, the projection is a 5-6% growth. Meanwhile, Pertamina’s stock is already in the range of 10% to 15%,” explained Pertamina Vice President of Corporate Communication Fadjar Djoko Santoso in Jakarta, Monday (1/4/2024).
Fadjar urged the public not to take action or panic buying BBM. This is important so that the distribution of fuel runs smoothly and there are no long queues at gas stations.
Pertamina has activated the RAFI Task Force (Satgas) in the period March 25 to April 21, 2024 to ensure the smooth supply of fuel and LPG. Pertamina also increased stock at refineries from March 25 to early April and focused on adding energy from April 1 to April 21.
Previously, Pertamina President Director Nicke Widyawati said that the company increased fuel and LPG stocks ahead of the Eid al-Fitr 2024 homecoming season. This was done to anticipate a surge in demand for fuel and LPG during the period.
Pertamina urges the public to travel safely and comfortably. People can use the MyPertamina application to find out information on the location of gas stations, fuel prices, and other services.
