Litro Gas Lanka announced significant developments in its supply and distribution network.
The company has undertaken a series of strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing the accessibility and reliability of LPG services across the country.
The existing distributor yards in Aluthgama, Panadura, Palamunai-Batticaloa and Navalady-Batticaloa have been refurbished, featuring new office infrastructure and an expanded vehicle fleet. These upgrades are set to improve the quality of service and delivery efficiency.
In addition to these refurbishments, new distribution yards have been established in Wellawaya, Godakawella, Padeniya, Waradela-Kotadeniyawa, Walathapity-Ampara and Mulamaldeniya. This expansion enhances service coverage, particularly in rural areas, providing better access to LPG for all Sri Lankans.
To support these operations, new staff members have been recruited from local communities, bolstering the workforce and promoting regional employment.
These efforts will integrate seamlessly with Litro Gas’ primary filling operations at Kerawalapitiya and the newly commissioned Mabima storage and filling facility.
Litro Gas’ expanded and refurbished network will support the seamless supply of LPG to 4.5 million domestic households, 12,500 dealer points/sales points, over 16,000 HoReCa establishments (hotels, restaurants, catering) and more than 6,000 medium and large commercial businesses.
Litro Gas Lanka Chairman and CEO Muditha Peiris stated, “Access to clean and safe energy is not a privilege but a fundamental right of every citizen. Our expansion efforts are a testament to our commitment to providing uninterrupted LPG supply to all parts of the country.”
These enhancements to the distribution network follow the successful commissioning of the state-of-the-art Mabima facility, demonstrating Litro Gas’ commitment to operational excellence and ensuring that all citizens have access to this essential resource.
