Maldive Gas: Limit revoked as gas supply returns to normal

Maldive Gas, a subsidiary of the State Trading Organization (STO), has announced that it will resume supplying cooking gas at its standard weight from Saturday onwards, ending the temporary measure that restricted the amount of gas filled in cylinders.

The temporary reduction in gas volume per cylinder was introduced to ensure an uninterrupted supply to customers amid challenges in importing gas due to rising global market prices. During this period, the company adjusted its prices to reflect the actual weight of gas supplied.

However, the company confirmed on Friday that the supply issues have been resolved and that cylinders will return to their previous standard weights from tomorrow. Maldives Gas reaffirmed its commitment to providing convenient services to customers.

A similar supply constraint in early February had also prompted Maldives Gas to sell 7kg of gas instead of the usual 10kg. The issue was subsequently resolved.

To prevent similar issues in the future, Maldives Gas stated that efforts are underway to increase the country's gas storage capacity. Upon completion of the project, the company expects to be able to store a three-month supply of gas at any given time.
