March 30, Colombo (LNW): The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO) has reassured the public that the country’s fuel reserves are sufficient to meet demand until at least the middle of May, easing concerns over potential shortages.
Officials confirmed that previously arranged shipments are continuing to arrive as scheduled, helping maintain steady stock levels despite ongoing uncertainties in global energy markets.
At the same time, the Corporation is reviewing short-term distribution arrangements, particularly for the next couple of days, as they fall on odd-numbered dates under existing supply management measures. Authorities are assessing whether any adjustments are needed to ensure smooth and equitable access for consumers.
CEYPETCO Managing Director Mayura Neththikumarage stated that a final decision on how fuel will be distributed during this period is expected shortly, following consultations with relevant stakeholders.
The Corporation indicated that it remains focused on maintaining an uninterrupted supply chain while adapting distribution strategies when necessary, in order to prevent congestion at filling stations and ensure fair access across the country.
