Litro Gas is Sri Lanka's largest gas company. It controls 85% of Sri Lanka's gas market. The company is wholly owned by Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation.

Established in 1872 as Colombo Gas and Water Company,[2] it was a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell until 2010, when it was purchased by the government of Sri Lanka. The company's current name was adopted in 2010.[3] In 2020 Litro Gas brought Hambantota Port LPG tanks. The port is operated by China Merchants Port.[4]
