Issuance of diesel stocks limited to manage stocks

Date:

The Ministry of Power and Energy has decided to limit the issuance of diesel stocks to fuel stations. It is reported that the release of kerosene has also been limited.

Minister Kanchana Wijesekera says that steps have been taken to release limited diesel and kerosene oil in order to manage fuel stocks.

Petroleum Corporation sources say that the remaining stock of diesel is only enough for five days. Accordingly, there is a risk that diesel will have to be issued only for essential services in the future.

The next diesel ship is scheduled to arrive in Sri Lanka on June 01 and the other diesel ship is scheduled to arrive two weeks later.
