Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2014 Petrol stations in Sintang Regency, West\nKalimantan, are implementing restrictions on purchases of subsidised\nfuel, particularly Pertalite. The measures, in force from 8 to 14\nOctober 2026, include an odd-even licence plate system and daily\nquotas.<\/p>\n
Edi Mangun, Area Manager for Communications, Relations and CSR at PT\nPertamina Patra Niaga\u2019s Kalimantan Regional Office, said the company was\ncontinuing to coordinate with petrol station operators to ensure the\nservice rules were clearly communicated. He also urged residents to plan\nrefuelling according to their daily needs and the final digit of their\nvehicle\u2019s registration plate.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand that people need to fit refuelling into their daily\nactivities. Pertamina continues to coordinate with petrol stations so\nthat the service requirements are communicated clearly and are easy to\nunderstand,\u201d Edi said, as quoted by Detikcom on Sunday (11 October\n2026).<\/p>\n
The extended restrictions are based on Sintang Regent\u2019s Circular\nLetter No.\u00a0500.10.1\/359\/INDAGKOP-C on the extension of odd-even rules\nand the regulation of Pertalite services. It was issued on 6 October\n2026.<\/p>\n
Under the odd-even system, vehicles with an odd final\nregistration-plate digit (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) may refuel on odd-numbered\ndates, while those with an even final digit (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8) may do so\non even-numbered dates.<\/p>\n
Sintang Regency Government has also set daily Pertalite purchase\nlimits of Rp50,000, or five litres, for two-wheeled vehicles, and\nRp300,000, or 30 litres, for four-wheeled vehicles.<\/p>\n
Petrol stations are prohibited from serving repeat purchases on the\nsame day and from refuelling modified tanks. They must also verify that\nthe MyPertamina QR code matches the vehicle\u2019s registration plate.<\/p>\n
\u201cResidents are advised to check that their refuelling date matches\nthe final digit of their vehicle\u2019s registration plate before going to a\npetrol station, and to buy fuel according to their needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
For purchases using jerrycans, petrol station operators may serve\nonly customers with a recommendation letter from the relevant\nagency.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/this-regions-petrol-stations-restrict-pertalite-purchases-heres-why-1791697824", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
