Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) Chairman, D.J. Rajakaruna, announced that steps will be taken to start exporting lubricants within the next two months.
He revealed that an order from Bangladesh has already been received.
Speaking at a function organized by the Ceylon Petroleum General Employees’ Union, Rajakaruna noted that the lubricant industry, which had previously faced collapse, has now seen a doubling of production.
He also mentioned that aviation fuel trade is growing faster than the previous year, following talks with airlines to reduce fuel quantities in the region.
Regarding the New Year bonus for employees, Rajakaruna explained that while he intends to provide the bonus, it requires approval from the Treasury and Cabinet.
He confirmed that although the bonus will not be issued this month, employees will receive an additional Rs. 50,000 as part of their annual salary.
