The Government yesterday announced that the Cabinet of Ministers had approved awarding a six-month contract to Aditya Birla Global Trading (Singapore) Ltd., for the supply of petrol to Sri Lanka for six months.
The contract covers the delivery of 1.5 million (+/-5%) barrels of 92 Octane Unleaded Petrol over a six-month period from 15 September 2025 to 14 March 2026.
“Supply will be made in five shipments of 300,000 (+/-5%) barrels each,” Minister Vijitha Herath said at the weekly post-Cabinet meeting media briefing yesterday.
The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) had earlier called for quotations from its registered suppliers, receiving bids from eight international suppliers. Following an evaluation process, the Special Standing Procurement Committee appointed by the Cabinet recommended awarding the contract to Aditya Birla Global Trading.
The proposal to this effect was submitted by Energy Minister Eng. Kumara Jayakody.
