The government to raise subsidized fuel prices for private cars

Kontan newspaper reported that the government has decided to raise the prices of subsidized fuels, namely premium and diesel, for private cars.

Meanwhile, motorcycle, as well as public and logistics transportation are still allowed to consume premium at the current price of Rp 4,500.

In order to do so, the government will separate fuel station for black-plated vehicles and utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) to control subsidized fuel consumption. The government will compensate such plan by giving direct aids which will proposed to the parliament under the 2013 Revised State Budget. (Kontan)
