Indian External Affairs Minister visited a Lanka Indian Oil Company fuel station in Colombo earlier today.

"Visited Lanka IOC in downtown Colombo. MD Manoj Gupta briefed me on fuel supply situation," the Indian Minister tweeted.

"Indian LoC of US$ 500 million is helping Sri Lankan people in their everyday life," he also added.

LIOC recently increased their fuel prices in the wake of the increase in global fuel prices and the depreciation of Sri Lankan rupee.
