The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO) has decided to increase fuel prices with effect from midnight today (June 11), the Ministry of Energy says.

The fuel price revision has increased prices of Petrol 92 Octane by Rs. 20, Petrol 95 Octane by Rs. 23, Diesel by Rs. 7, Super Diesel by Rs. 12 and Kerosene by Rs. 7.

Accordingly, the new CEYPETCO fuel prices are as follows:

Lanka Petrol 92 octane – Rs 157.00
Lanka Petrol 95 octane – Rs 184.00
Diesel – Rs 111.00
Super Diesel – Rs 144.00
Kerosene – Rs. 77.00

Earlier today, Energy Minister Udaya Gammanpila announced that the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Cost of Living (CoL) has given the nod to increase fuel prices.

He stated that due to the prevailing Covid-19 situation in the country, the government cannot announce the date of the effective date in advance as the public would start forming long queues near fuel stations.
