Fuel prices soar

Date:

July 01, Colombo (LNW): Motorists across Sri Lanka will see a fresh wave of fuel price increases taking effect from midnight yesterday (30), as the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO) introduced revised rates.

Under the new pricing, Petrol 92 Octane will now cost Rs. 305 per litre—reflecting a Rs. 12 rise—whilst the price of Kerosene has climbed by Rs. 7 to Rs. 185 per litre. The rate for Auto Diesel has also seen a significant increase of Rs. 15, bringing it to Rs. 289 per litre.

Notably, there has been no change in the cost of higher-grade fuels: Petrol 95 Octane remains at Rs. 341 per litre, and Super Diesel continues to be priced at Rs. 325.

The revised pricing applies not only to CEYPETCO outlets but has also been mirrored by Lanka IOC (LIOC) and Sinopec Energy Lanka, both of which adjusted their rates in tandem with the CEYPETCO.

The full list of revised fuel prices now stands as follows:

  • Petrol 92 Octane – Rs. 305 per litre (up by Rs. 12)
  • Auto Diesel – Rs. 289 per litre (up by Rs. 15)
  • Kerosene – Rs. 185 per litre (up by Rs. 7)
  • Petrol 95 Octane – Rs. 341 per litre (unchanged)
  • Super Diesel – Rs. 325 per litre (unchanged)
