Sri Lanka has being going through the worst economic crisis since their independence from Britain 1948. The Sri Lankan Government plans to introduce a fuel rationing scheme for the coming months, in which registered consumers gets a weekly quota. Sri Lanka had been experiencing 10 hours of power cuts due to shortage of diesel and furnace oil of the country's power generation. The supply of fuel will be managed until until the supply of fuel is uninterrupted. The shortage in gas supply has also increased the demand for electricity and kerosene and the monthly fuel bill which was $200 million four months ago now stands at $550 million.
Sri Lanka will be forced to buy more oil from Russia due to their current economic crisis. Sri Lanka might first look for other options, but is also ready to get fuel from Moscow. The last fuel supply under the Indian Line of Credit are arriving on Sri Lanka this month.
