Govt. to dispose of fuel-intensive luxury vehicles

News

The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a proposal to evaluate and dispose of high-maintenance, fuel-costly super-luxury vehicles in government institutions to reduce expenditures.

Submitted by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the proposal focuses on streamlining the government vehicle fleet, targeting vehicles with higher engine capacities that drive up maintenance costs.

As part of this initiative, the President has ordered a study of government vehicles. The Secretary to the Treasury is authorized to issue instructions for the disposal of vehicles with petrol engines over 1800cc and diesel engines over 2300cc excluding certain vehicle types.

Chief Accounting Officers must complete the disposal by March 1, 2025, following the procurement procedure and report to the Controller General of the Treasury.
