The weekly fuel quota allocated for vehicles under the QR system of the National Fuel Pass portal has been increased, Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera said.  

He said a fuel quota was allocated per week for vehicles under the new fuel distribution system.    

Several registered users have reported an increase in the quota shown on their National Fuel Pass app.   
The weekly fuel quota has reportedly been increased as follows:  

The weekly diesel quota for buses has been increased to 40 litres; 4 litres for quadricycles, 5 litres for three-wheelers, 20 litres per van, 50 litres per special-purpose vehicle, 15 litres for land vehicles and 50 litres for lorries.  
The weekly petrol fuel quota for motorcycles has been increased to 4 litres; 4 litres for quadricycles; 5 litres for three-wheelers; 20 litres for vans; 20 litres for cars; 50 litres for special-purpose vehicles; 15 litres for land vehicles; and 50 litres for lorries.

Moreover, the Minister said the QR code system under the National Fuel Pass system will be implemented starting August 1. 

Minister Kanchana Wijesekera yesterday requested all three-wheeler users to register their vehicles at their respective area police stations and to get one filling station nominated for refueling before July 31.  
He said three-wheelers will only be allowed to obtain fuel from their registered fuel station from August 1.  
Moreover, he said, vehicle users who cannot register with the chassis number will be able to register with the revenue license from Friday (29).  

Accordingly, the users of 49cc bikes have to register with the Motor Traffic Department (DMT) to obtain their licenses and register with the National Fuel Pass (NFP) portal in order to get their fuel quota, the Minister added.
