The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) has confirmed that the QR code system currently used for fuel distribution will continue to remain in operation.
CPC Chairman D.A. Rajakaruna stated that the decision was taken to ensure the effective management of fuel consumption and maintain stability in fuel distribution across the country.
According to Rajakaruna, the system continues to serve as an important mechanism for monitoring and regulating fuel usage, particularly amid ongoing uncertainties in global energy markets.
He further noted that international fuel prices remain highly volatile, making it necessary for authorities to maintain measures that support efficient fuel management and help safeguard national energy security.
The QR code-based fuel distribution system was originally introduced during Sri Lanka’s fuel crisis to manage demand and ensure equitable access to fuel supplies. Since then, it has remained in place as a monitoring and distribution tool.
The CPC Chairman emphasized that there are currently no plans to discontinue the system and that it will continue to be used as part of the government’s broader strategy to manage fuel resources responsibly.
Authorities maintain that the continuation of the QR code system will help ensure transparency, prevent excessive consumption, and support effective planning in response to fluctuations in global fuel markets.
