The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) has announced that the temporary relaxation of the QR code-based fuel quota system for petrol-powered vehicles will officially end from midnight tomorrow (18), marking the return of regular fuel distribution procedures.
According to the CPC, motorists using petrol-powered vehicles will once again be required to obtain fuel through the QR code-based quota system from that time onward.
Despite the reinstatement of the quota mechanism, the existing odd-even number plate system for fuel distribution will continue to remain in force for all vehicles, ensuring that the current traffic and fuel management measures stay in place.
The QR system had been temporarily suspended during the festive Sinhala and Tamil New Year period to provide greater convenience for motorists travelling during the holiday season.
Earlier, on April 11, CPC Chairman D. J. Rajakaruna had stated that the temporary easing of the system was introduced in view of the New Year, allowing drivers to obtain petrol without the use of the quota process during the specified period.
With the festive period drawing to a close, the CPC’s decision signals a return to its standard fuel monitoring framework from midnight tomorrow.
