Due to the ongoing armed conflict in the Middle East, the Ministry of Energy is monitoring, supervising, and regulating to ensure that fuel consumption within Myanmar does not face difficulties.

On 12 March, the system for scanning barcodes for vehicles and issuing QR codes for motorcycles was implemented, with coordination among relevant departments to resolve any difficulties and noting the public’s understanding and cooperation.

During this process, instructions have been issued to filling stations, and inspections are being conducted to ensure compliance.

Based on detailed public complaints, the relevant shops were inspected, and their sales licences were suspended.

To make fuel purchases more convenient, a system incorporating barcodes and QR codes will be implemented next week, allowing customers to buy fuel once or twice per week based on their vehicle’s engine capacity.

The State has already stockpiled 50 days’ worth of fuel and arranged for imports through alternative channels in addition to the regular routes, and the public is advised to refrain from purchasing fuel out of concern, but to report any irregularities in fuel sales by contacting the relevant phone numbers and submitting accurate complaints.
