CPC Assures Stable Fuel Prices Through October, Expedites Extra Imports 📈

The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) confirmed that current fuel prices will hold steady through the end of October, with confidence in maintaining price and supply stability over the next three months provided no major disruptions occur. • Price & Supply Assurance: CPC assures adequate buffer stocks nationwide and advises the public against panic buying. Price and supply stability projected for the next 3 months under normal conditions. • Imports & Precautionary Measures: Two additional fuel shipments are being expedited. October import volumes planned to exceed estimated national requirements as a buffer. • Addressing Localised Shortages: Recent queue reports are linked to private sector distributors reducing filling station supplies rather than a national deficit. CPC identified 62 vulnerable areas 3 weeks ago and arranged boosted supplies with distributor companies. Public urged to utilize nearby CPC filling stations if private stations experience localized delays.
