A new digital card system will be introduced to supply fuel for vehicles belonging to government institutions, starting with a pilot project at the Presidential Secretariat.
The move aims to enhance transparency, reduce manual intervention, and enable efficient reimbursement through online banking systems, the government said.
The digital card system, developed by the Bank of Ceylon in collaboration with the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation, is expected to streamline fuel distribution for state-owned vehicles.
The proposal, submitted by the President, received Cabinet approval to launch the system for pool vehicles of the Presidential Secretariat.
Based on the outcome of the pilot phase, the system may be expanded to other government institutions in the future. (Newswire)
