The One Price BBM Program is a government program in realizing social justice for all Indonesian people. The government wants people living in the 3T (left behind, frontier, and outermost) region to feel the price of fuel in accordance with the provisions in the framework of equity and the principle of justice.

Adiatma explained that with BBM One Harga, residents in Tolikara Papua who previously bought Premium at a price of Rp. 25-40,000 per liter, can now enjoy the price of Rp. 6,450 per liter. Similarly, other regions can receive Premium 6,450 and Solar 5,150 per liter.

"With the operation of the channeling institution, Pertamina certainly cannot run on its own. It needs cooperation with various parties, such as the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the local government, the police, and the active role of the community so that BBM One Price is on target and can be felt by the community," he said. .

Adiatma added, the consumption of BBM One Price was only about 0.3 percent of the total national distribution. In 2018, Pertamina projects the average distribution of Premium and Solar for the BBM One Price program at 5,727 kilo liters per month for 67 channeling agencies.
