Sri Lanka to standardize fuel prices island-wide

October, 31, 2014

The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) says that though in the recent past fuel stations outside Colombo were permitted to sell petrol and diesel at Cents 50 to 60 more than the prices in the city this practice would be stopped from tomorrow (01 November).

CPC Chairman Sirisena Amarasekera told adaderanabiz.lk that from tomorrow fuel would be sold at the same prices all over Sri Lanka.

“Fuel was sold at a higher price at outstation fuel stations while adding the transport charges. However, we decided to absorb this transport costs and sell at the same prices island-wide. This will be effective from tomorrow, 01 November,” said Amarasekera.
