Eligible individuals, small-scale companies, or organisations may apply for a special permit to purchase diesel exceeding the standard limit, said domestic trade and cost of living minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, according to a Bernama report.
“Applicants must submit a letter of confirmation from the relevant agency and apply via the Special Permit System available on the KPDN (domestic trade and cost of living ministry) portal.
“This includes agricultural and livestock purposes, with a quantity limit not exceeding 200 litres per day for purchases at petrol stations,” Armizan said yesterday when winding up the 2025 Supply Bill debate for the ministry in the Dewan Negara, adding that the special permit is not for resale.
Diesel subsidy rationalisation began on June 10, floating the price of the fuel in Peninsular Malaysia (currently RM2.95 a litre). Subsidised diesel is provided to eligible logistics vehicles under the Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS) 2.0, which entitles operators to RM2.15 a litre of diesel.
The SKDS 1.0 scheme for land public transport, including school buses, express buses, ambulances and fire engines remains at RM1.88 per litre, and subsidised diesel for fishermen remains at RM1.65 per litre.
Meanwhile, the Budi Madani programme (for private diesel vehicle owners and agriculture smallholders; SKDS is for companies, you can’t have both) grants successful applicants RM200 monthly to cover or offset their diesel costs.
