The provision of electric motor subsidies is regulated in Regulation of the Minister of Industry Number 6 of 2023. Requirements for recipients are recipients of people’s business credit benefits, micro-business productive assistance, wage subsidy assistance and recipients of electricity subsidies of up to 900 volt amperes.
Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko once revealed that these conditions might have been an obstacle to granting subsidies. He also highlighted the lack of socialization of the program and the complicated registration process that electric motorbike manufacturers had complained about.
Absorption of electric motorbike subsidies, which have been allotted 200 thousand units from the government this year, has been minimal. According to thesisapira.id site accessed on Monday 24 July 2023 there is still a remaining quota of 198,861 units.
Until now, only 36 units have been distributed, 121 units have been verified and 982 units are still in the registration process. ()
