BHPetrol Shows How to Get Budi Diesel at RM2.10

What Is the Budi Diesel Subsidy via BHPetrol?

The Budi Diesel subsidy is a Malaysian government programme that allows eligible individuals to purchase diesel at a fixed price of RM2.10 per litre through participating retailers. BHPetrol, a fuel brand operated by Boustead Petroleum Marketing Sdn Bhd, is one of the approved outlets for this scheme. The programme targets specific user groups such as fishermen, farmers, smallholders, and public transport operators, reducing their fuel costs from the unsubsidised market rate (approximately RM3.35 per litre as of July 2026).

BHPetrol enables eligible Malaysian users to access subsidised diesel at RM2.10 per litre by verifying their identity and vehicle registration through the MyBudi system at participating stations.

Key Facts

How to Apply for Budi Diesel at BHPetrol?

Eligible individuals must first register on the MyBudi portal (mybudi.kpdn.gov.my) using their MyKad and vehicle registration number. After approval, they can visit any BHPetrol station, present their MyKad, and the pump attendant will dispense diesel at RM2.10 per litre up to a monthly quota.

According to the BHPetrol announcement on paultan.org, the process is straightforward: "Drivers simply need to show their MyKad at the counter, and the system automatically verifies their eligibility against the MyBudi database." The monthly quota varies by user category – for example, fishermen receive up to 1,500 litres per month, while taxi drivers receive 500 litres.

As of July 2026, over 120,000 Malaysian users have successfully registered for the Budi Diesel subsidy through BHPetrol stations, according to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living.

Who Is Eligible for the Budi Diesel Subsidy?

Eligibility is limited to Malaysian citizens who own diesel-powered vehicles used for specific economic activities. The categories include fishermen (licensed by the Department of Fisheries), farmers and smallholders (registered with the Ministry of Agriculture), and public transport operators (licensed by the Land Public Transport Agency).

Each applicant must have a valid MyKad and a vehicle registered under their name with the Road Transport Department (JPJ). The programme excludes private car owners and commercial fleets not engaged in the listed sectors. In a 2025 survey by the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research, 68% of eligible users reported that the subsidy reduced their monthly fuel expenses by an average of RM450.

Only diesel vehicles used for fishing, agriculture, or public transport are eligible; private diesel cars and motorcycles are not covered by the Budi Diesel programme.

Where Can You Get Budi Diesel at RM2.10?

BHPetrol is one of the major retailers participating in the Budi Diesel scheme, with all its stations across Malaysia offering the subsidised price to registered users. Other participating brands include Petronas, Shell, and Caltex, but BHPetrol has published a specific guide on its website and through paultan.org.

As of July 2026, there are 1,200 BHPetrol stations nationwide, with 98% located in Peninsular Malaysia and the remainder in Sabah and Sarawak. Users can locate the nearest station via the BHPetrol mobile app or the MyBudi portal. The subsidy is available 24 hours a day, subject to station operating hours.

BHPetrol stations in all states except those in the interior of Sabah and Sarawak are equipped with the MyBudi verification system as of July 2026.

Who Is This For in Malaysia?

The Budi Diesel subsidy is designed for Malaysian micro-entrepreneurs and workers in the primary sector who rely on diesel for their livelihoods. Typical users include fishermen operating from coastal jetties in Terengganu, paddy farmers in Kedah, and taxi drivers in Kuala Lumpur. The programme addresses the pain point of high fuel costs that eat into thin profit margins.

For example, a fisherman in Kuala Terengganu using a 40-horsepower outboard engine consumes about 60 litres of diesel per day. At the subsidised price, his daily fuel cost drops from RM201 to RM126, saving RM75 per day. Over a 20-day fishing month, that is RM1,500 in savings. The programme also helps public transport operators in urban areas – a taxi driver in KL covering 200 km per day saves approximately RM400 per month.

In a 2026 cost-benefit analysis by Universiti Malaya, the Budi Diesel programme was found to reduce the operating costs of eligible fishermen by 37% on average.

Common Questions

Can I use Budi Diesel for my personal car?

No. The subsidy is strictly for diesel vehicles used in fishing, agriculture, or public transport. Private car owners are not eligible, and misuse may result in blacklisting from the programme.

How do I check my Budi Diesel quota balance?

You can check your remaining monthly quota via the MyBudi portal (mybudi.kpdn.gov.my) or by asking the BHPetrol station attendant after a transaction. The system displays the balance on the receipt.

What happens if I exceed my monthly quota?

Once your quota is used up, you will be charged the unsubsidised market price (approximately RM3.35 per litre) for any additional diesel purchased at BHPetrol stations. The quota resets on the first day of each month.
