The Petroleum Dealers' Association has reported a staggering 50% decrease in fuel consumption across Sri Lanka.
Shelton Fernando, President of the association, attributed this significant decline to the prevailing economic conditions in the country.
Speaking on behalf of the association, Fernando highlighted the adverse economic situation as a primary factor influencing the reduced demand for fuel.
Economic uncertainties, coupled with various challenges faced by industries and businesses, have contributed to the notable drop in consumption levels.
Despite the decline in fuel usage, Fernando reassured the public that all types of fuel remain readily available throughout the country, with no shortages reported.
This assurance aims to alleviate concerns regarding potential disruptions to fuel supply amidst the downturn in consumption.
As Sri Lanka navigates through economic challenges, stakeholders continue to monitor and assess the implications of fluctuating fuel consumption patterns.
