Last Update:

There are only two major fuel distribution companies in Sri Lanka: Ceylon Petroleum Company (CPC) and Lanka IOC, a subsidiary of Indian Oil Company.

In 2002, Sri Lanka introduces a fuel price formula, updating prices monthly and following international prices. A few years later, this formula was abandoned by a new president. In 2007, the government decided to re-install a fuel price formula (→App. A1). However, also this formula did not last long, being rejected through Sri Lankas Supreme Court in late 2008 (→App. A2, A4).

As of May 2011, still no fuel price formula came into effect again. Prices are set by CPC, in accordance with the government, changing only a few times a year. However, several experts and politicians strongly recommend installing a formula again, to prevent oil companies from having huge losses and also the customers from the intransparent arbitrariness of fuel pricing (→App. A3).

CPC publishes fuel prices incl. historic fuel prices on their website (www.ceypetco.gov.lk).
