Indonesian state-owned fuel distributor, Pertamina’s subsidiary Budi Diesel, aims to reduce fuel leakage by one billion litres annually through enhanced monitoring and operational improvements. The company attributes current losses to widespread theft and inefficiencies across its distribution network. These efforts include implementing stricter controls at fuel stations and along transportation routes. Budi Diesel plans to leverage technology and data analysis to identify and address vulnerabilities in the supply chain. The initiative is expected to significantly improve Pertamina’s financial performance and ensure more equitable fuel access. Officials believe the reduction in leakage will contribute to national energy security and reduce subsidies. The company did not detail specific technological solutions but emphasized a comprehensive overhaul of existing procedures.
