The National Oil Company of Malawi (NOCMA) has announced the delivery of 19.2 million liters of fuel, offering hope for improved availability amid ongoing shortages.
NOCMA spokesperson Raymond Likambale stated on Friday that 6.6 million liters of fuel are currently in transit, with an additional 12.6 million liters being loaded onto trucks and wagons for delivery.
With Malawi consuming approximately 845,000 liters of petrol and 834,000 liters of diesel daily, this supply is expected to cover around 11.5 days if delivered as planned.
The announcement comes as Malawi faces persistent fuel shortages, leading to long queues at filling stations. The arrival of this shipment is anticipated to alleviate the situation and bring relief to consumers.
NOCMA reassured the public of ongoing efforts to stabilize fuel supplies, emphasizing its commitment to replenishing stocks and maintaining consistent distribution nationwide.
