Sri Lanka Customs says that vehicle imports alone have generated Rs. 165 billion in revenue since imports resumed earlier this year.
Speaking at a media briefing in Colombo, Additional Director General of Customs, Seevali Arukgoda, stated that the department is on track to exceed this year’s revenue target of Rs. 2,115 billion.
“In 2024, our target was Rs. 1,533 billion, and we ended the year with Rs. 1,535 billion in revenue. This year, by mid-June, we’ve already earned over Rs. 900 billion,” he said.
Arukgoda revealed that, since the government allowed motor vehicle imports from 01 February 2025, around 14,000 vehicles have been brought in, generating Rs. 165 billion in revenue.
“We expect this figure to reach Rs. 450 billion by the end of the year,” he added. (Newswire)
