KatadataOTO – The latest news about the electric motorcycle subsidy has not yet been heard. Including when the government will disburse it.
Even though it is now the third month of 2025. This has caused various parties to await the realization of this assistance.
Alva has also asked President Prabowo and his ministers to provide the electric motorcycle subsidy soon.
“We hope it will be launched sooner, as Lebaran 2025 is just around the corner. We are conveying that this should be used as a stimulus,” said Purbaya Pantja, President Director of PT IGM (Ilectra Motor Group) in Jakarta, on Thursday (06/03).
He sees that this assistance could boost sales. Because the demand for new electric motorcycles is usually quite high during the Lebaran period.
So if the government disburses the electric motorcycle subsidy this month, it could stimulate the public to spend their money on buying an EV (Electric Vehicle).
“So what we are hoping for is for it to be implemented quickly. Because consumers also want to enjoy this incentive,” he continued.
It is undeniable that the uncertainty surrounding the realization of this electric motorcycle subsidy has had several impacts on manufacturers.
Such as affecting their sales. Because consumers have been holding back on purchases recently.
The public is also waiting to see when the government will distribute the electric motorcycle subsidy for the 2025 fiscal year.
Therefore, Alva strongly urges President Prabowo and his ministers to make a decision soon.
“Of course, we hope for clarity on the scheme or form of this government policy so it can be announced sooner,” said Putu Yudha, Chief Operating Officer of Alva, on a different occasion.
For your information, the Minister of Industry (Menperin) had spoken out about the clarity of this government assistance.
“The electric motorcycle subsidy will be ready soon, it's being finished up,” said Agus Gumiwang, the Minister of Industry, when opening the IIMS 2025 exhibition.
Agus admitted that the government is still calculating the amount of assistance to be given to the public.
Therefore, they cannot yet confirm whether the form of the electric motorcycle subsidy in 2025 will be the same as last year or not.
“It's still being processed and calculated, but it will definitely happen. So the electric motorcycle subsidy will be out soon,” Agus concluded.
