What is the estimated percentage of diesel users consuming less than 300 litres monthly?

Question

Accepted Answer

95% of diesel users are estimated to consume less than 300 litres per month
The finance minister said it is estimated that 95 per cent of diesel users consume less than 300 litres each month. This figure is used to support the programme’s entitlement design, where eligible individuals can receive a base quota and certain vehicle owners may receive an additional allowance.
The key estimate tied to the 300-litre entitlement
The estimate is that 95 per cent of diesel users fall under the monthly consumption level of less than 300 litres. This supports setting the total entitlement ceiling at up to 300 litres for eligible categories.
How the 300-litre figure is structured in the programme
The government set a base eligibility limit of up to 200 litres per month for eligible individuals under the BUDI Madani Diesel programme. Private owners of qualifying diesel vehicles such as pick-up trucks and jeeps may apply for an additional 100 litres per month, bringing their total entitlement to up to 300 litres.
Why the estimate matters for subsidy allocation
The minister said the quota is meant to be used flexibly for purchasing subsidised diesel or RON95, based on actual usage. He characterised the approach as ensuring subsidies are aligned with recipients’ monthly consumption patterns, including for those who may not use diesel exclusively.
Programme context around monthly consumption
The minister also said the base quota is automatically given to diesel vehicle owners registered with JPJ with valid road tax, without requiring new registration. Separately, eligible pick-up and jeep owners can check eligibility status and monthly limits online via the BUDI Madani portal, and apply for the additional 100 litres per month through the same portal.
