The national LPG (liquid petroleum gas) company has exhibited a significant sales growth of above 30pct in the domestic market during the first 10 months of this year. This complements with the imposed price reductions by the government.

The recent decision taken by the government to reduce the price of 12.5Kg domestic LP gas will further have a positive impact on its sales and volume, which are expected to surge by end this year.

The price reductions imposed within a year is significant (44pct) benefitting the lower and middle-lower customer segments, and this has allowed households in both urban and rural areas throughout the country to switch from the traditional firewood to LP gas which today is an affordable cooking fuel.
Litro Gas enjoys a market share of around 73pct and is increasingly capable of catering to the growing demand of the entire LP gas market in the country with its current infrastructure.

Recently the company completed its new LP gas terminal located at the port of Hambantota consisting a storage capacity of 3,000 m/t. The storage facility of Litro Gas now increases up to 11,000 m/t with this new addition.

Litro Gas Managing Director Mr. Muditha Peiris, said ‘Along with the recent completion of our new terminal at Hambantota port we’re also in the process of setting up another filling plant just besides it and this will benefit consumers based in Southern, Uva and Eastern provinces.’
