TO promote systematic fuel consumption and minimize losses, a digital fuel distribution and sales system was launched on 12 March 2026. The system was upgraded on 27 March 2026 to allocate and sell fuel according to fixed quotas for each vehicle.

Efforts are also being made, including online monitoring and alerts, control measures, and gathering public feedback, to upgrade the technology and expand the usage nationwide to address the technical difficulties encountered during implementation and to prevent malpractices.

Out of 2,943 petrol stations currently operating across the country, 879 stations have already adopted a system that allows sales through scanning Bar Codes/QR Codes. Starting this week, the system will also be implemented in Pathein and towns along the Yangon-Pyay-Magway highway.

Fuel quotas are being set based on engine capacity for each vehicle. To ensure convenience in the public transportation and logistics sectors, higher fuel quotas have been allocated to taxis, three-wheeled vehicles, and cargo trucks, and they are allowed to refuel three times per week.

However, due to misuse of this system, which has caused inconvenience and losses to the public, fuel sales for these vehicles will be based on the actual distance travelled starting from 3 April 2026.

As this system relies on technology to manage individual shortcomings and prevent malpractice, the public is kindly requested to cooperate by providing suggestions and reporting.
