The Malaysian government approved over 30,000 consumers for higher Budi Madani Diesel quotas, raising their monthly allowance from 200 litres to 300 litres as of June 30, 2026. Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan confirmed, "As of yesterday, more than 30,000 people have applied for and received approval in the application provided," highlighting strong uptake since the program's early phase [1].
The additional 100 litres quota was introduced after feedback from small traders, hawkers, and rural service providers who require more fuel for their businesses [2, 3, 1]. During the early access period beginning June 27, 2026, in Peninsular Malaysia, nearly 80,000 users made use of the facility, which proceeded smoothly without technical issues [4, 3].
By June 28, 2026, more than 18,000 applications for the extra quota had been submitted through the official Budi Madani portal [4]. The fuel price was initially set at RM2.15 per litre and reduced to RM2.10 per litre starting July 1, 2026 [4, 2, 1].
The government also introduced a quota transfer facility allowing approved users to transfer quota to immediate family members such as spouses, parents, children, or siblings, subject to verification. More than 1,000 quota transfer applications had been received by June 30, 2026 [2, 3, 1]. The Road Transport Department (RTD) will exempt fees on diesel vehicle ownership transfers for three months from July 1, 2026, to facilitate these transfers [2, 1].
RTD counters will operate on weekends from July 4 to July 31, 2026, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm to support ownership transfer applications [2, 1]. Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan explained the quota is tagged to the new user's identification card, and petrol station systems automatically recognize transferred quotas [4].
