Since entering the market in 2000 and breaking the long-standing monopoly held by a multinational company, LAUGFS Gas has been at the forefront of the LPG industry in Sri Lanka and the broader Indian Ocean region. Over the past 25 years, we have developed a robust infrastructure, epitomised by our state-of-the-art terminal in Hambantota, which boasts a capacity of 30,000 metric tons and handles over a million metric tons of LPG annually. This facility, combined with our proprietary vessel, has significantly enhanced our sourcing and trading capabilities, allowing us to efficiently serve both local and regional markets.

“The recent macroeconomic improvements spearheaded by the administration of President Ranil Wickramasinghe have facilitated a reduction in bank interest rates, lower inflation levels, appreciation of the rupee, and reduced electricity and fuel costs. These positive changes have enabled us to pass on the benefits of reduced world market LPG prices directly to our consumers,” LAUGFS said. 

“Our ongoing commitment to affordability, coupled with unparalleled logistical and trading capabilities, ensures that we continue to provide exceptional value to our customers, reinforcing our position as a leader in the energy sector. We are confident that these price reductions will further enhance the economic well-being of our customers and demonstrate our ongoing commitment to providing affordable energy solutions in Sri Lanka,” LAUGFS added.
