All Vehicle Owners Allowed to Obtain Fuel Today in Sri Lanka

All vehicle owners in Sri Lanka have been allowed to obtain fuel today (April 01), according to an announcement issued by the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation.

It has been stated that both vehicles with registration numbers ending in odd digits and even digits will be permitted to receive fuel from filling stations today. The decision has been confirmed as a temporary relaxation of the existing fuel distribution schedule.

QR-Based Fuel Distribution System Continues

Since February 19, fuel allocations have been provided through a QR-code-based system linked to the last digit of vehicle registration numbers. Under this system, vehicles are usually allowed to obtain fuel only on specific dates that match their registration number category.

Accordingly, vehicles with registration numbers ending in even digits are normally allowed to obtain fuel on even-numbered calendar dates. Similarly, vehicles with registration numbers ending in odd digits are permitted access on odd-numbered dates.

Special Permission Granted for Today

However, despite today being categorized as an odd-numbered date, fuel access has been granted to all vehicles regardless of their registration number. Therefore, both odd-digit and even-digit vehicles have been allowed to obtain fuel from filling stations nationwide.

The announcement has been officially released by Mayura Neththikumara, the Managing Director of the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation.

Authorities have stated that the temporary adjustment has been introduced to improve public convenience and ensure smoother fuel distribution operations across the country.
