Indian Vice President to arrive in Sri Lanka today

<ul><li>Govt. backs Jayakody despite probe</li><li>Russel Aponsu takes over as Energy Ministry Secy.&nbsp;</li></ul>Energy Minister Kumara Jayakody and Ministry Secretary Prof. Udayanga Hemapala stepped down on Friday (17), in what they said was a move to clear the way for an independent probe into the controversial coal import system, after the President appointed a Special Presidential Commission of Inquiry (SPCoI) to examine alleged irregularities and financial losses.The Government, however, adamantly maintained that Jayakody was not involved in any corruption related to coal imports.For months, the Government has maintained that there were no substandard coal imports, despite multiple sources claiming otherwise. The scale of losses incurred from the use of substandard coal, the resultant impact on machinery, and whether the Government will attempt to recover losses from customers remain contested.President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has appointed G.M.R.D. Aponsu as the new Secretary to the Ministry of Energy. The letter of appointment was handed over by Presidential Secretary Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake at the Presidential Secretariat on Friday afternoon.Aponsu previously served as Senior Additional Secretary to the President for Finance and Economic Affairs, and is a senior officer of the Sri Lanka Planning Service (SLPS).The Government is yet to announce a new energy minister, with the Cabinet Spokesperson stating that the President will appoint one soon. Aponsu was scheduled to assume duties on Saturday (18).Jayakody resigned from his post with immediate effect, stating he would step down until investigations into coal procurement concluded and the truth was established.Jayakody announced that he had tendered his resignation to President Dissanayake on Friday, shortly after the Government appointed the SPCoI to probe alleged irregularities in coal imports and electricity generation.In his letter, Jayakody said that the decision had been taken to ensure the investigations could proceed independently and without any perception of interference.“I resign from my ministerial portfolio with effect from 17 April until the investigation is concluded and the truth is established before the public,” he stated.He also commended the President’s move to appoint a commission and initiate a formal probe through the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) into coal imports dating back to 2009, describing it as a demonstration of a firm commitment to combating corruption and upholding the public mandate.“I highly appreciate your courageous determination against corruption and your commitment to transparent governance. I believe such measures are essential for future generations and that the truth will be revealed through these processes,” he noted.Referring to the recent No-Confidence Motion brought against him in Parliament, Jayakody expressed gratitude for the confidence placed in him by the Government and denied any wrongdoing.“I state with a clear conscience that I have not been involved, directly or indirectly, in any act that would undermine that trust,” he claimed.He further stressed that the investigations had to be conducted impartially, adding that his continued presence in office could be perceived as an impediment to the process.“I believe these investigations should be carried out in a fully independent and unbiased manner. Therefore, I have decided to resign from the position of Minister of Energy,” he added, noting that he would accept any outcome of the probe.In a parallel development, Prof. Hemapala also tendered his resignation, stating that the move was necessary to safeguard the independence of the inquiry process.The SPCoI was appointed under the Special Presidential Commissions of Inquiry Law No.7 of 1978 (as amended), read together with the Special Presidential Commissions of Inquiry (Special Provisions) Act No.4 of 1978. The relevant gazette notification was issued on the same day.According to the gazette, the commission has been mandated to examine whether any irregularities or unlawful acts have occurred in the importation of coal to Sri Lanka and in electricity generation by the State-owned Lanka Coal Company Ltd. (LCC) or its successors, from the inception of coal-based power generation up to 16 April.The probe will also assess whether electricity generation has been carried out at the expected level of efficiency, determine whether substandard coal has been imported, and evaluate any financial losses incurred by the Government. The scope of the inquiry extends to procurement, supply, quality testing, operational procedures, and utilisation.The three-member commission is chaired by Supreme Court Justice Gihan Kulatunga, with Court of Appeal Justice Aditya Patabendige and High Court Judge Sanjeewa Somaratne serving as members. Former Ministry Secretary P.V. Bandulasena has been appointed as its Secretary.Following the developments, the Government held a media briefing on Friday at the Department of Government Information. Foreign Affairs Minister Vijitha Herath, Cabinet Spokesperson Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa, and Transport Minister Bimal Rathnayake participated in the media briefing, along with Minister of Rural Development, Social Security, and Community Empowerment Upali Pannilage and Deputy Minister of Energy Arkam Ilyas.When asked whether the Chairman of the LCC would also resign – as the company has been embroiled in the substandard coal controversy and its office premises have reportedly been sealed by the CID – the Ministers said that no such decision had been taken at this stage.They noted, however, that decisions regarding the resignation or removal of other officials, apart from the Minister and the Ministry Secretary, would be taken based on the findings of ongoing investigations.Minister Herath stated that no form of corruption or fraud had occurred in the controversial coal importation process. However, he acknowledged concerns regarding the quality of the imported coal, adding that the Government would “humbly inform the public” of the issue.Herath said that a structured procurement process and quality assurance mechanisms unprecedented in previous administrations had been implemented under the current Government.He emphasised that the coal import process had been carried out through an independent mechanism comprising State officials, in accordance with established procurement guidelines, and that international laboratory testing and sample inspections had been properly conducted.“There has been no finding in any investigation conducted so far to suggest any direct involvement of the Minister or any private dealings with external parties,” he stressed.The Minister also conceded that electricity generation using the imported coal had fallen below expected capacity levels. “We openly state that there is a quality issue here. Laboratory reports are required for that. However, it is baseless to claim that someone committed fraud simply because the quality is substandard,” he said.Herath further revealed that the matter had been discussed for more than six hours at a recent Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) meeting, and that an audit report tabled with the agreement of Government members contained no reference to any fraudulent conduct by the Minister.He noted that the audit findings pointed only to issues relating to the quality of coal.The Minister also said that the Government, in collaboration with the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) and other State institutions, was already implementing a five-year action plan to uphold the public mandate and ensure that no form of corruption or fraud would be tolerated.Cabinet Spokesperson Dr. Jayatissa said that Jayakody and Prof. Hemapala had resigned to safeguard the independence of the SPCoI. He further noted that any decisions regarding other officials would be taken based on the progress and findings of the ongoing investigations.Responding to questions raised by journalists, he said that no decision had been made at this stage on whether other officials, including those of the LCC, should resign.Herath stated that the operations of the LCC were currently being conducted under the supervision of the CID to ensure that investigations proceeded without obstruction.Accordingly, he added that there were no concerns regarding the continuation of operations at present.Herath further said that the SPCoI appointed by President Dissanayake had been instructed to complete its investigations within six months and submit its report.He said that the commission had been mandated to conduct a comprehensive inquiry into alleged irregularities and corruption in coal imports from the inception of coal-based power generation in Sri Lanka during the 2009/2010 period up to 16 April this year.Herath noted that the commission had been established as an open forum, allowing any individual in possession of information, data, or evidence related to coal imports to come forward and make submissions.The Minister further stated that the objective of the inquiry was to go beyond existing audit reports, CID investigations, and parliamentary No-Confidence Motions, and to conduct a broader and more in-depth examination of the matter.Minister Rathnayake asserted that there had been ‘no delay’ in the Government’s response to the controversy.He argued that the Government had initially believed that the facts presented during parliamentary debates, public television discussions, and the hours-long COPE audit would be sufficient to address the matter.Rathnayake emphasised that while no “specific corruption charges” had been established against the Minister either in Parliament or at COPE, the Government had nevertheless decided to act, stressing that “credibility in the public mind is important”.&nbsp;

Substandard coal scandal:  Energy Minister, Secretary quit  

Sri Lanka’s maritime sector is currently navigating a substantial escalation in bunker fuel costs, with surcharges rising by nearly 23% in recent weeks.Despite the sharp increase in these operational expenses, authorities maintain that both the Port of Colombo and the Port of Hambantota continue to operate at maximum capacity.Government officials emphasise that fuel pricing is not the primary driver of transhipment traffic, ensuring the country remains a vital node in global supply chains despite external economic pressures and shifting maritime routes.Speaking to The Sunday Morning, Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) Managing Director Dr. Mayura Neththikumarage said: “There are numerous private players operating in the bunkering sector. While the CPC acts as a supplier, we have not directly engaged in supplying bunker fuel during this current month.”The 22.8% surge in bunker fuel surcharges has prompted valid concerns regarding the regional competitiveness of Sri Lankan ports. This issue is particularly relevant as global shipping routes continue to adjust to prolonged disruptions in West Asia. These disruptions have forced many vessels to reroute and reconsider their traditional refuelling stops.&nbsp;Amid this severe international volatility, the CPC has notably reduced its direct participation in the bunkering market, leaving the sector largely in the hands of independent private operators.Deputy Minister of Ports and Civil Aviation Janitha Ruwan Kodithuwakku attributed the rapid surcharge increase entirely to global market dynamics rather than any domestic policy decisions or local taxation strategies.&nbsp;He emphasised that Sri Lanka was bound by these global forces and had to price competitively within a completely open international market to attract maritime business.“The bunker fuel surcharge reflects the broader increase in global bunker fuel prices. We supply fuel based on international market rates, as bunkering operates within a highly competitive open market. Unlike aviation fuel, shipping lines have the flexibility to seek the lowest prices across regional ports, whether in Singapore, South Africa, or Sri Lanka. We secure the business when we offer the most competitive rates,” Kodithuwakku explained.Despite the rising refuelling costs that shipping lines must navigate, port throughput remains robust across the island. Port authorities and the ministry continuously underline that transhipment volumes are driven primarily by geographic positioning and logistical advantages rather than the immediate availability or pricing of marine fuel. The Government’s strategic focus remains heavily tilted towards physical infrastructure expansion to accommodate this steady flow of traffic.“Both the Colombo and Hambantota Ports are currently operating at full capacity, and we are experiencing no shortage of transhipment business. To capitalise on future opportunities, we are prioritising infrastructure development, specifically the expediting of the East Container Terminal. It is imperative that we build capacity ahead of demand, as our current facilities are fully utilised. This capacity enhancement remains our core strategy moving forward,” Kodithuwakku stated.He further noted that marine vessels possessed far greater flexibility in their refuelling decisions, allowing them to traverse vast distances and select the most economically viable ports for bunkering.“There is no direct correlation between fuel availability and cargo transhipment volumes. Unlike aircraft, which must refuel upon landing, maritime vessels plan their routes across multiple ports to bunkers where prices are most advantageous. Consequently, ships will continue to call at Sri Lankan ports for transhipment regardless of local fuel availability. Providing bunker fuel simply serves as an added commercial advantage rather than an operational necessity for these vessels,” Kodithuwakku clarified.To ensure long-term resilience and capitalise on future maritime traffic, the Government is looking beyond current spot market prices. According to Kodithuwakku, the overarching strategy involves significant capacity enhancements, including the construction of new storage tanks at the Sapugaskanda refinery and the Jaya Container Terminal (JCT) Oil Bank, to maintain a solid buffer and preserve the nation’s strategic advantage during any future global procurement delays.&nbsp;

Logistics: CPC steps back from direct bunkering

<ul><li>Seeks to expand storage facility at Kerawalapitiya&nbsp;</li></ul> Litro Gas Lanka Ltd. has called for applications from experts to conduct an international feasibility study as part of plans to expand the country’s gas storage terminals amid efforts to strengthen supply stability.&nbsp;Speaking to The Sunday Morning, Litro Gas Lanka and Litro Gas Terminal Lanka Ltd. Chairman Channa Gunawardana said that the company was at the initial stage of the expansion process at present.“Prior to building the terminals, an international feasibility study is needed. An expert or a group of experts will have to make recommendations on where to expand and how much to expand,” he said.&nbsp;Gunawardana added that applications were now being called from qualified experts to undertake the study, marking the first formal step in the planned expansion of storage facilities.&nbsp;The move comes as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s gas storage capacity, which has been identified as a key factor in preventing supply disruptions. Authorities have previously noted that the country has limited Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage capacity, making expansion of terminal facilities essential to improve supply security.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the Ministry of Trade, Commerce, Food Security, and Cooperative Development stated recently that existing gas suppliers continued to meet domestic demand, with Litro playing a dominant role in the market.&nbsp;According to Deputy Minister R.M. Jayawardana, Litro currently handles about 80% of the country’s LPG supply and distributes around 33,000 MT of LPG each month.&nbsp;He also noted that Litro had issued approximately five million domestic gas cylinders, forming the bulk of the cylinders in circulation nationwide.&nbsp;Jayawardana further stated that additional gas stocks had also been released recently by Litro to stabilise distribution following disruptions reported in several parts of the country, where consumers experienced delays in cylinder availability and long waiting times at distribution points.&nbsp;

Indian VP to visit this week

A decision on whether to implement water cuts to preserve supplies will follow the National Water Supply and Drainage Board’s (NWSDB) review meeting on Monday (20).Speaking to The Sunday Morning, NWSDB Chairman Chandana Bandara said there was currently no immediate need to impose water cuts, noting that the rainy season was beginning to pick up.&nbsp;However, he said a final decision would be made after the review. “What decision will be taken going forward will be made on Monday,” he said, adding that no water cuts would be imposed until then.Earlier, the NWSDB had announced that a review meeting would be held on Wednesday (15) to determine whether water cuts were necessary, after suspending supply interruptions from 11 to 14 April in view of the Sinhala and Tamil New Year festive season.Commenting further, NWSDB General Manager T. Barathithasan said that the board was currently maintaining a 24-hour water supply in the Western Province, with the upcoming review expected to determine whether any changes were required.“The rainy season has now started, so there is some rainfall. I hope this will continue,” he said.Due to prevailing dry weather conditions, the NWSDB had previously introduced scheduled water supply suspensions as several reservoirs recorded declining water levels. With the Labugama and Kalatuwawa Water Treatment Plants operating at reduced capacity, time-bound supply interruptions were implemented in several areas.Meanwhile, according to the Irrigation Department’s Reservoir Status database, several major reservoirs across the country remain below 50% effective storage. These include Ambakolawewa (41.86%), Attaragalla (47.15%), and Batalagoda (22.01%) in Kurunegala; Akathimuruppu (21.97%) and Viyathikulam (27.33%) in Mannar; Muruthawela (39.42%), Kekiriobada (22.34%), and Tissawewa (37.83%) in Hambantota; Tabbowa (48.62%) and Inginimitiya (46.35%) in Puttalam; and Senanayake Samudraya (46.55%) in Ampara as of Friday (17).In addition, 10 medium-scale reservoirs are also operating below 50% effective storage, including Alugalge (26.74%), Dambawewa (42.01%), Debara Ara (29.46%), Hambegamuwa (42.04%), Kahakurullanpelassa (12.75%), Kandiyapita (37.24%), Kotiyagala (41.62%), and Mahawewa (37.58%) in Monaragala, as well as Haliela and Uyanwewa in Galle. Several other medium reservoirs remain below 70% effective storage.However, water spillages due to excess capacity have been observed in some medium reservoirs, including Malipotha in Monaragala and Bomburuella in Badulla.

Water supply: Decision on water cuts on Monday

<ul><li>UAE, US supplies secured</li><li>First of four shipments arrived Friday</li><li>Comprehensive delivery schedule finalised</li></ul> Sri Lanka has secured a series of crude oil shipments expected to sustain national fuel requirements through June, according to Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) Managing Director Dr. Mayura Neththikumarage, even as global supply chains remain under severe strain due to escalating tensions in the Middle East.Speaking to The Sunday Morning, Dr. Neththikumarage said that the CPC had finalised a comprehensive delivery schedule to ensure uninterrupted fuel supply during the second quarter of the year.Sri Lanka received a crude oil shipment on Friday (17). The vessel, which originated from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), carried approximately 97,500 MT of crude oil. Three additional shipments are scheduled to arrive by May.&nbsp;Dr. Neththikumarage confirmed that an initial shipment was expected in the last week of this month, followed by two additional consignments next month.&nbsp;“In the next month as well, two separate shipments will arrive, one in the middle and another towards the end, roughly 14 days apart,” he said, outlining the delivery mechanism designed to maintain consistent stock levels.&nbsp;Providing further clarity on procurement arrangements, Dr. Neththikumarage said that one of the upcoming shipments was expected from the US, while the remaining deliveries from the UAE – Sri Lanka’s primary crude oil supplier – had also been secured.&nbsp;He noted that these scheduled arrivals were expected to adequately meet the country’s fuel demand until June, offering a degree of stability amid ongoing uncertainty in international markets.&nbsp;Prior to the arrival of the vessel on Friday, two shipments scheduled for 8 March and the first week of April had failed to reach Sri Lanka due to the deteriorating security situation in the region. The conflict has disrupted key maritime supply routes, particularly those serving Asia, complicating procurement efforts for oil-importing nations.According to the CPC, following the last successfully discharged shipment on 11 March, securing additional crude oil supplies became increasingly difficult.&nbsp;The crisis triggered sharp price escalations and logistical constraints, with global crude oil prices, previously in the range of $ 60–70 per barrel, surging dramatically, in some instances reaching as high as $ 170 per barrel.&nbsp;This volatility has been largely driven by threats to critical global shipping corridors, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, which was effectively blockaded. Heightened security risks and war-related disruptions have forced vessels to reroute, increasing transit times, freight costs, and insurance premiums.&nbsp;Despite these challenges, Sri Lanka has managed to secure crude oil at comparatively favourable rates. According to Dr. Neththikumarage, recent procurement agreements have been finalised within a price range of $ 71.99 to $ 113.29 per barrel, significantly lower than the $ 140–150 range observed in international spot markets during peak volatility.&nbsp;He attributed this outcome to coordinated efforts between the Government and the CPC, as well as strengthened international engagement aimed at navigating supply disruptions and securing competitive pricing. The ability to procure fuel at such rates during a period of global scarcity, he noted, reflected both strategic negotiation and timely intervention by authorities.&nbsp;The CPC’s delivery schedule also includes contingency planning, with staggered shipments ensuring that reserves are replenished at regular intervals rather than relying on single bulk consignments. This approach is expected to reduce vulnerability to sudden disruptions in supply chains.&nbsp;

Fuel supply: CPC secures fuel until end-June

<ul><li>Subsidies of Rs. 100 for diesel, Rs. 20 for petrol cushion consumers</li></ul> Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) Chairman D.J.A.S. De S. Rajakaruna on Friday (17) issued a detailed clarification refuting claims that Sri Lanka had purchased crude oil at prices exceeding global market rates, describing such reports as misleading and based on a misinterpretation of fuel pricing data.Speaking at a press briefing, Rajakaruna stressed that the widely cited figure of $ 286 per barrel referred to refined diesel, not crude oil, which carried significantly higher costs due to global market conditions.“We have not purchased a barrel of crude oil for $ 286 in any way,” he said, firmly dismissing the claims and noting that what had been purchased at the cited price was diesel.&nbsp;Addressing the controversy’s origin, Rajakaruna pointed to a statement issued by HSBC CEO Georges Elhedery, noting that the bank had referred only to a general “oil purchase” without specifying crude oil. He stated that the issue had arisen from either a misunderstanding or a deliberate misrepresentation of the statement.&nbsp;“The problem is either a misunderstanding of the statement… or it has been intentionally broadcast in a wrong way,” he charged, warning that such misinformation could trigger unnecessary public panic and fuel queues.The CPC Chairman explained that the term ‘barrel of oil’ had been incorrectly interpreted, causing confusion between crude oil and refined petroleum products.Highlighting the distinction, Rajakaruna said that while crude oil prices remained relatively low, refined products such as diesel and petrol were significantly more expensive due to refining costs, global supply disruptions, and market volatility.&nbsp;He noted that the average global price of diesel rose sharply in recent months, increasing from $ 191.73 per barrel in March to $ 199.70 in April, with peak averages reaching $ 242.&nbsp;When additional premiums and insurance costs – driven by global supply risks – are factored in, these costs surge from around $ 3–4 per barrel to as high as $ 48–50, pushing the total price of some refined diesel shipments to between $ 281 and $ 288 per barrel.Super diesel prices go even higher, reaching up to $ 337 per barrel under certain market conditions.“There is a huge difference between the price of crude oil and the price when taking it as finished products like petrol or diesel,” Rajakaruna said, emphasising that refined fuels were subject to entirely different pricing dynamics.Providing data to counter the claims, he stated that Sri Lanka had purchased crude oil at $ 66.99 per barrel in March, while subsequent shipments had been priced at $ 71.99. Future orders secured through Letters of Credit range from $ 71.81 to $ 113.29 per barrel.He also highlighted the financial burden borne by the Government and CPC in subsidising fuel prices to shield consumers from global price shocks.According to him, the Government currently subsidises approximately Rs. 100 per litre of diesel, while the CPC contributes an additional Rs. 63 per litre. For petrol, the Government provides a subsidy of Rs. 20 per litre, with the CPC adding Rs. 7.He emphasised that these subsidies were funded through public tax revenue, underscoring the importance of responsible fuel consumption.“If we don’t buy oil this way, there will be no oil supply in the country,” he claimed, defending the necessity of purchasing refined products at higher global prices to maintain an uninterrupted supply.&nbsp;

Fuel purchase allegations: Bought diesel not crude oil for $ 286 a barrel, says CPC
