SRI Lanka has begun distributing fuel under an odd-even number plate system starting Wednesday, a senior Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (Ceypetco) officer said.
The corporation’s Managing Director Mayura Neththikumarage said vehicles with number plates ending in an even number or zero can buy fuel on even-numbered days, while vehicles with number plates ending in an odd number can obtain fuel on odd-numbered days.
Neththikumarage said the measure aims to regulate fuel distribution more effectively and manage demand at filling stations. He also announced a special arrangement for vehicle owners who have so far been unable to download the QR code required to obtain fuel.
According to Neththikumarage, those vehicle owners will be given a special opportunity on Thursday to obtain fuel even without the QR code. The move comes as authorities work to resolve QR code-related issues and streamline fuel distribution nationwide.
