The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) is moving swiftly to expand its retail network with 75 new fuel stations, marking a significant step to ensure stable fuel availability across the country.
CPC Chairman D.J.A.S. De S. Rajakaruna confirmed that approval has been granted for the expansion project, which aims to address persistent fuel supply disruptions in several regions. The initiative comes amid reports that private fuel companies have restricted fuel distribution in certain areas, creating supply challenges.
The expansion is being treated as a matter of urgency by the state-owned corporation. By increasing its direct retail presence, the CPC aims to reduce reliance on private distributors and strengthen its capacity to serve consumers nationwide.
The new stations are expected to enhance fuel accessibility and help stabilize supply chains that have experienced intermittent disruptions. Further details regarding the timeline and specific locations for the new outlets are expected to be announced in due course.
