National Fuel Pass QR System was introduced last year in August as a mechanism to manage the fuel distribution in the country with the limited resources that was available. It brought stability to the social, economic sectors in a very short time. It was not just a management tool but a great platform to collect actual data & analyze market situations to make policy & quick decisions. After 6.5 million registered customers & vehicles and over 350 million transactions up to the 1st of September, the QR based quota system will not be necessary from the 1st of Sept for fuel purchasing islandwide as cost reflective pricing formula adopted, governments new policy’s, new retail operators to the market has eased the financial requirements for fuel purchasing. I would like to recognize & appreciate the dedication & services of the Management & officials of Dialog Axiata, Millenium IT ESP, ICTA for developing the system and operating it at no cost to the Government. Would also like to thank the President & the Cabinet of Ministers for backing the initiative & trusting the system. The Officials of the Ministry of Power & Energy, CPC, LIOC & its dealers for adopting, implementing & monitoring it. CBSL & Sampath Bank for their assistance. Youth Services, Youth Corps, Media, Police, Armed forces & other organizations for educating the public & assisting in registering vehicles. Dept of Motor traffic for allowing access to its system. The general public for supporting the system & adopting it. The system will be kept to be implemented in the future with advanced technology for data collection & analysis.
