Sri Lanka wakes up to higher fuel costs as global oil volatility forces another price revision, tightening household and transport budgets across the country.
The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (Ceypetco) has announced a revision of fuel prices with effect from midnight today (05). The decision, the corporation said, was taken after carefully reviewing fluctuations in crude oil prices in the global market.
| Fuel Type | Price Change (Rs.) | New Price (Rs. per Liter) |
|---|---|---|
| Octane 92 Petrol | No change | 294.00 |
| Lanka Auto Diesel | +2.00 | 279.00 |
| Lanka Super Diesel | +5.00 | 323.00 |
| Octane 95 Petrol | +5.00 | 340.00 |
| Kerosene | +2.00 | 182.00 |

Octane 92 petrol remains unchanged and continues to be sold at Rs. 294.00 per liter.
The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation stated that “the volatility in the global fuel market has directly affected local prices and this step has been taken in accordance with the existing price formula.” Officials emphasized that the pricing mechanism is designed to reflect international crude oil movements while maintaining supply stability.
In line with Ceypetco’s decision, Lanka IOC and Sinopec have also revised their fuel prices accordingly, ensuring uniformity across the market.
