A consignment of around 40,000 metric tonnes of petrol from India reached Sri Lanka, which is reeling under its worst-ever economic crisis, on Monday, the Indian mission in the island nation announced.

“Commitment delivered!! Around 40000 MT of petrol under #Indian assistance reached #Colombo today,” the Indian High Commission in Colombo said in a tweet.
