INDUSTRY.co.id - Jakarta - PT Pertamina (Persero) Marketing Operation Region VI adds 500,000 subsidized LPG (3 Kilograms) to 5 provinces in Kalimantan in early December 2017.
"We ensure that the three kg LPG supply in Kalimantan is sufficient, therefore consumers do not need to panic and are expected to buy properly," said General Manager of Marketing Operation Region VI Pertamina Made Adi Putra in a release in Jakarta on Sunday (10/12/2017).
According to him, the availability of LPG in the community will continue to be monitored and can be added at any time as needed. For Kalimantan, the normal requirement reaches 320 thousand tubes per day.

Made appealed to the public is entitled to three kg of subsidized LPG to buy at the base to match the highest retail price (HET). "We also appeal to consumers who are not entitled to subsidies, using non-subsidized LPG to support the realization of targeted subsidies," he said.
