Petronas Dagangan Doubles Down on Fuel Supply Assurance, Eyes Digital Growth and Resilience
PETALING JAYA, April 27 — Petronas Dagangan Berhad (PDB) has reiterated its commitment to safeguarding Malaysia’s domestic fuel supply, even as global energy markets remain volatile and increasingly influenced by geopolitical developments.
At its 44th Annual General Meeting (AGM), the company outlined a strategy focused on strengthening operational resilience while enhancing customer experience through digital innovation and service reliability.
A key pillar of this strategy is Setel, PDB’s proprietary platform, which continues to drive customer engagement and accelerate the transition toward seamless, cashless transactions nationwide.
The company noted that its digital ecosystem played a crucial role during the 2025 financial year, particularly in supporting the government’s Budi Madani RON95 subsidy framework (BUDI95), ensuring efficient rollout without disrupting nationwide operations.
PDB reported record-breaking sales volume of 17.1 billion litres for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2025, alongside a profit after tax of RM1.14 billion, underscoring the strength of its core business despite external headwinds.
In line with its strong performance, the company declared a total dividend of 112 sen per share, including a special dividend of 20 sen, reflecting a full payout ratio of 100 per cent.
The AGM was chaired by Anuar Ahmad and attended by managing director and chief executive officer Azrul Osman Rani, chief operating officer Azureen Azita Abdullah, chief financial officer Mazlie Minhat and other board members.
Azrul described 2025 as a year that tested the company’s adaptability amid a rapidly evolving operating landscape, but said PDB’s consistent performance was supported by disciplined execution, stable operations and increased digital adoption.
“Our focus remains firmly on customers. We are committed to delivering reliable supply while managing cost pressures responsibly,” he said.
Looking ahead, the company plans to deepen its digital capabilities, optimise its retail network and integrate sustainability practices more comprehensively across its operations.
Azrul acknowledged that the outlook for the energy sector may remain challenging in the near term, particularly due to ongoing tensions in West Asia that continue to influence global oil prices and supply chains.
Nevertheless, he stressed that ensuring uninterrupted domestic fuel availability will remain PDB’s top priority.
“Despite global uncertainties, we are confident in our ability to navigate evolving conditions and continue supporting Malaysia’s energy needs,” he added.
PDB also reaffirmed its role in contributing to national priorities by maintaining supply reliability, supporting economic activities and delivering long-term value to shareholders through disciplined growth and strategic investments.
