The rise in fuel limits for the holiday season will continue throughout this week, according to state minister of power and energy D. V. Chanaka.
Therefore, the State Minister remarked, the revised fuel quotas will continue this week as well.
On April 4, in anticipation of the Sinhala and Tamil New Years, fuel quotas were revised. The quota for three-wheelers was increased from 5 to 8 liters; that for motorcycles from 4 to 7 liters; that for buses from 40 to 60 liters; that for cars from 20 to 30 liters; that for land vehicles from 15 to 25 liters; that for lorries from 50 to 75 liters; that for quadric cycles from 4 to 6 liters
The Ministry has chosen to keep the enhanced quota even though it was originally intended to change the fuel limits to their original amounts under the current QR code system today (18 April).
