COLOMBO (News 1st); Sri Lanka's Minister of Energy Kanchana Wijesekera said that authorities have explored the idea to increase prices in premium products.

In a tweet, the Minister said that 95 Petrol and Super Diesel daily requirements are less than 10% of the market share.

"Driving up prices significantly on both will not be a solution. It will create an artificial demand for lesser priced products," he tweeted.
