The new product is expected to revolutionize the LPG industry in Sri Lanka by offering outstanding economic benefit in a size that meets global specifications, the company said, while assuring that it will be sufficient for a family of four to meet their cooking gas needs for a month.
Introducing a unique LPG solution to meet an increasing consumer demand is a priority for the Company, says Anil Koswatte Chairman & CEO of Litro Gas Lanka.
“We have consistently been able to pass on a great economic benefit to our consumers by maintaining our LPG prices for over a year, in keeping with the guidance of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa envisioned in the Government’s Vistas of Prosperity & Splendour ( Saubhagyaye Dakma). We believe that our new product will add tremendous value to that promise.”
Our priority has always been to bring the Sri Lankan LPG industry up to date with the standards of the global energy sector while ensuring safety at all levels of our operations and delivering value for money in energy solutions for our customers,” he adds.
The rapid increase in globalization continues to enhance the need for clean, green energy across the world – the new Litro cylinder will now bring global standards to Sri Lanka with a unique size that allows more energy at a competitive price.
Jayantha Basnayake, Director – Health, Safety & Environment at Litro Gas Lanka says that the new cylinder comes with an enhanced LPG Vapour Ullage which reduces transport issues in changing environmental conditions, noting that the Ullage space is increased according to the international standards with the new packaging.
Kamal Wickramasinghe, Director Operations says that the new Premium Hybrid cylinder has a greater filling efficiency capability. “It has an optimized propane component in the propane butane LPG mixture, ensuring more vapour space and hence, a more efficient filling which results in a faster supply process and a consistent turn around cycle.”
“We are built on a strong multinational heritage that enables us to identify and understand global dynamics in the energy industry” says Janaka Pathirathna, Director Sales & Marketing at Litro Gas Lanka. “In introducing this new product, we are bringing Sri Lanka in line with global trends and developments that offer innovative insights in meeting customer needs.”
