Pertamina Strengthens LPG Supply In West Kalimantan Before Eid 1447 H

Pertamina adds 497K LPG 3 kg cylinders in West Kalimantan ahead of Ramadan and Eid 1447 H to anticipate rising public demand.

Pontianak — As Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijri approach, household energy demand is expected to rise significantly. In response, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Kalimantan has stepped up by increasing the supply of 3-kilogram LPG cylinders across West Kalimantan.

The additional supply is substantial, reaching more than 497,000 LPG cylinders distributed through a facultative allocation system to multiple regions.

Area Manager of Communication, Relations & CSR for Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Kalimantan, Edi Mangun, stated that the distribution is being carried out evenly across several regencies and cities.

These include Bengkayang, Kapuas Hulu, North Kayong, Ketapang, Kubu Raya, Landak, Melawi, Mempawah, Sambas, Sanggau, Sekadau, Sintang, as well as Pontianak City and Singkawang City.

According to Edi, this move reflects Pertamina’s commitment to ensuring energy availability, especially during periods of increased consumption.

“Pertamina is committed to securing energy supply for the community, including 3-kilogram LPG widely used by households and micro businesses,” he said in Pontianak on Wednesday.

He emphasized that the additional allocation is a preventive measure to ensure that public demand remains fully met through the Eid al-Fitr period.

At the same time, the public is urged not to engage in panic buying. Pertamina reminds consumers to purchase LPG according to their needs and follow the government-regulated Highest Retail Price (HET).

To maintain smooth and targeted distribution, Pertamina Patra Niaga continues to collaborate with local governments, relevant agencies, and law enforcement authorities.

Strict monitoring is being implemented to ensure that subsidized LPG reaches the intended beneficiaries, namely low-income households and micro enterprises.

“We encourage those who can afford it to switch to non-subsidized LPG so that subsidies are better targeted,” he added.

Pertamina also stressed that firm action will be taken against any parties attempting to disrupt or misuse the distribution of subsidized LPG.

For public service and transparency, people can access information or report issues through the Pertamina Contact Center at 135, via email at pcc135@pertamina.com, or through official social media @pertamina135.

This initiative is expected to help stabilize energy supply during Ramadan and ahead of Eid al-Fitr, allowing the public to observe the holiday season without concerns over LPG shortages.

Ramadan Togetherness, PT Dharma Inti Bersama Strengthens Ties with the Pelapis Village Community.

Pelapis, February 26, 2026 – The holy month of Ramadan 1447 H has become a momentum for PT Dharma Inti Bersama (DIB) to strengthen ties with the community through a communal iftar event held in a warm and friendly atmosphere in Pelapis Village, Karimata Islands, North Kayong.

The event was attended by DIB management representatives, village officials, community leaders, and DIB employees who live and carry out their daily activities alongside the people of Pelapis.

As part of the program, a Ramadan sermon delivered by a religious speaker emphasized the importance of maintaining relationships, fostering a spirit of sharing, and strengthening social awareness as part of Ramadan values.

“Ramadan teaches that blessings come through togetherness and care. When the company and the community move forward together, the benefits will be felt more widely,” the ustaz said in his sermon.

Head of Kelawar Hamlet, Wasmiyadi, in his remarks expressed appreciation for DIB’s presence, noting that the company not only carries out operational activities but also actively builds close social relationships with the Pelapis community through various empowerment programs.

“We feel that the company is present as part of the community. Activities like this strengthen togetherness and open space for good communication. We hope this bond will continue to be maintained and that cooperation between DIB and the community will grow stronger in the future,” he said.

Strong synergy between the company and the community is also reflected through a marketing program for traditional snacks produced by women in Pelapis Village during Ramadan at the Pulau Penebang Industrial Area (KIPP). The variety of snacks offered has added color to the fasting experience of employees on Pulau Penebang, allowing workers to enjoy a range of iftar treats.

DIB management representative, Seno Ario Wibowo, stated that the communal iftar event is part of the company’s commitment to building harmonious and sustainable relationships with communities around its operational areas.

“We are organizing communal iftar events in Kelawar Hamlet, Jaya Hamlet, and Raya Hamlet in Pelapis Village from February 26 to March 1, 2026. During this Ramadan, DIB will also distribute assistance to widows and orphans in Pelapis Village as in previous years. May this Ramadan bring blessings to us all,” he said.

Through this activity, DIB hopes that the values of togetherness and social care that flourish during Ramadan will further strengthen the relationship between the company and the community and create sustainable collaboration in the future.
