Refuting claims by fuel distributors that existing stocks at filling stations would run out by tomorrow morning, Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) Chairman D.J. Rajakaruna assured that there will be no fuel shortage in the country.
He stated that the CPC had received 1,581 fuel orders today, and deliveries are ongoing despite it being a Sunday. Orders placed today will cover tomorrow’s demand, dismissing concerns raised by distributors.
The Chairman further confirmed that sufficient fuel stocks are available for three weeks, with orders placed to ensure supply until late August. He emphasized that a shortage would only occur if fuel stocks were depleted or if there were currency issues for imports, neither of which are concerns at present.
