National logistics and supply chain business players have expressed their appreciation and support for the government’s strategic measures to strengthen national energy security throughout 2025.
Policies such as energy downstreaming, the acceleration of the energy transition to renewable energy (EBT), the B40 biodiesel program, and increased oil lifting are seen as not only improving energy security but also driving economic growth and creating multiplier effects in the national logistics and supply chain sector.
Chairman of the Advisory Board of ALFI and Senior Vice President of FIATA, Yukki Nugrahawan Hanafi, emphasized that these policy initiatives have a broad impact—not only on the energy sector itself but also on economic competitiveness and the strengthening of the national logistics and supply chain ecosystem.
“We appreciate the government’s commitment to enhancing national energy security through various strategic policies. When the energy sector is strong and focused on the domestic supply chain, demand in the logistics and supply chain sector also increases,” he said.
Yukki added that government policies in the energy sector have led to increased demand for logistics transportation. This includes the distribution of oil and gas fuels and biofuels, the movement of infrastructure equipment for energy transition projects, and the delivery of energy to remote areas—resulting in a more even distribution of demand. This rising demand is interpreted as increased volume, which has the potential to reduce national logistics costs and improve efficiency in the long term.
“As an example, oil lifting realization continues to show improvement and remains on track toward the target of 1 million barrels per day. As of November, SKK Migas recorded oil production reaching 606,020 barrels per day, exceeding the 2025 state budget target. Similarly, the B50 target, which will redirect CPO exports to the domestic market, is expected to boost logistics demand for raw material distribution. We view these growth figures optimistically as opportunities for the logistics and supply chain sector supporting the energy industry,” Yukki explained.
The increase in demand within the logistics and supply chain sector is also aligned with rising investment realization. According to research by INDEF in October, upstream oil and gas investment has continued to show a positive trend, with growth reaching 12% year-on-year in Q3 2025, increasing to USD 10.37 billion from USD 9.30 billion in Q3 2024.
Furthermore, business players hope that cross-sector synergy will continue to be strengthened, enabling greater participation from the private sector in national energy security policies.
“We hope that strong and synergistic collaboration between the government, state-owned enterprises, the private sector, and other stakeholders will continue from upstream to downstream, so that the logistics sector can remain a key pillar in supporting national energy security policies,” Yukki concluded.
