The government is in danger of selling more subsidized motor fuel than it intends this year, a ministry official has said, as a delay in purchase restrictions allows unfettered access to cheaper fuel brands to continue.

The Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) has set the subsidized fuel quota at 49.56 million kiloliters this year, up 2.6 million kl from last year, with 32.56 million kl allotted for RON-90 Pertalite gasoline and 17 million kl for Solar-brand diesel.

The quota marks a slight change from last year’s realized sales of 29.49 million kl of Pertalite and 17.6 million kl of Solar.
