The All Ceylon Restaurant Owners’ Association has announced that restaurants and eateries operating with Laugfs Gas will increase the prices of popular food items including short eats, fried rice and kottu in response to the latest gas price hike.
Speaking on the revision, Association Chairman Harshana Rukshan stated that affected establishments relying on Laugfs Gas will raise the price of short eats by Rs. 5, while portions of fried rice and kottu will each increase by Rs. 15 to offset rising operational costs.
The price adjustment by Laugfs-dependent restaurant operators follows the company’s decision to revise its rates upward effective midnight yesterday. Under the revised pricing structure, the cost of a 12.5 kg domestic Laugfs Gas cylinder rose by Rs. 1,775, while the price of a 5 kg cylinder increased by Rs. 732. (Newswire)
