Litro reaches max daily supply capacity 

06 Jan 2022

  • 90-100,000 domestic cylinders released to market daily 
  • New offshore shipment awaits standards approval
    BY Pamodi Waravita  Litro Gas Lanka Ltd. has once again reached its full capacity of releasing about 90,000 to 100,000 liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) domestic cylinders per day, amidst a severe LPG shortage in the country, with long queues seen even yesterday (6) in various parts of the country, company officials told The Morning yesterday. The officials said that Litro reached this full capacity this week, whilst adding that a new shipment of LPG supply has arrived in the country. Reportedly, the newest shipment is awaiting approval for its quality standards offshore at Kerawalapitiya. Meanwhile, Litro Gas Lanka Senior Manager – Channel Development Chamani Herath Pathirage has said in a statement yesterday that the company has taken measures to increase its manufacturing capacity and to streamline its manufacturing process concerning domestic and commercial LPG cylinders. She added that Litro has released about 220,000 cylinders to the market over the past two days and assured that the LPG shortage would be fulfilled shortly. Media reports show that many restaurants and eateries have temporarily closed down as they are unable to carry out their services without a steady supply of LPG. The LPG shortage has heavily affected consumers, especially in the Western Province, with long lines seen outside outlets in several places in the Colombo District. Consumers have been forced to find alternatives, including induction heat cookers and firewood and kerosene stoves. Reports show that prices of these alternative products have also increased in recent times, taking a further toll on the public. W.K.H. Wegapitiya, Chairman of the private player in the market – Laugfs Gas Lanka PLC – has stated that the inability to open a letter of credit (LC) has led to his company being unable to meet the consumer demand.
