CPC lacks facilities to sell its products

Petroleum Industries Minister Susil Premajayantha yesterday stated in Parliament that the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation did not have filling facilities and empty gas cylinders to commence selling of CPC produced LPG.

The Minister further stated that the capacity to produce LPG at the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation was limited to meet 12 percent of the demand of the country, adding that the CPC also lacked the facilities to import the balance requirement for the country.

The Minister made this observation in response to a question raised by UNP MP Ravi Karunanayake.
