With the National Fuel Pass reintroduced due to the ongoing war involving the US and Israel with Iran, former Minister of Energy Kanchana Wijesekera noted that the QR-based National Fuel Pass system was developed by Jayantha De Silva and the team at ICTA, Supun Weerasinghe and the team at Dialog Axiata, and Shevan Goonathilake and the team at Millennium IT.

Wijesekera stated that the platform was developed within two weeks of the first meeting and rolled out within one month.

He further noted that the system was implemented at no cost to the Government, with support from multiple stakeholders.

The QR-based National Fuel Pass system was first introduced in July 2022, when Wijesekera held the Energy and Power ministerial portfolio.
