Litro Gas has decided to decrease the number of domestic gas cylinders released to the market on a daily basis by more than half.
Accordingly, the number of cylinders issued daily will have to be reduced from 80,000 to 30,000, the company’s new chairman Vijitha Herath has told the media.
Sri Lanka needs about 30 million US dollars a month to meet its monthly demand for gas, which has to be reduced due to the current foreign exchange crisis.
Accordingly, only 28% of gas consumers in cities where firewood is not available will have to supply gas and others will have to use firewood, he said.
