Sri Lanka is due to receive a debt facility of US$ 500 million from India for fuel purchases. This provision will be made based on a request made by the Sri Lankan government.
Prior to being received the debt, Sri Lanka has also received 40,000 metric tonnes of diesel for the management of energy crisis.
These fuel stocks have arrived in the Colombo Port from ‘Swarna Pushpa’ ship and were handed over to Energy Minister Udaya Gammanpila by Indian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Gopal Baglay.
