BYD Boosts Presence With Fifth Dealership In Ampara, Sri Lanka

A man walks next to the BYD showroom in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on July 18, 2025. BYD, the Chinese electric vehicle giant, rapidly expands its presence in Sri Lanka. It opens its fifth dealership in Ampara and rolls out significant price reductions across popular models, making EVs more accessible to Sri Lankan consumers. The company also introduces its luxury brand, Denza, aiming to cater to both premium and mainstream segments. This expansion aligns with a growing interest in sustainable transportation following the recent lifting of import restrictions. Sri Lanka's economic outlook shows steady improvement. With restrictions eased earlier this year, consumer confidence begins to rebuild. The Sri Lankan rupee stabilizes, signaling healthier fiscal management, while the tourism sector experiences a revival as international arrivals rise. These developments bring renewed optimism across industries. In the education sector, a digital transformation is underway. Starting in August, the Ministry of Education rolls out a pilot initiative to digitize rural schools. Tablets are distributed and Wi-Fi networks installed, laying the groundwork for more inclusive, tech-forward learning environments. This effort marks a significant step toward bridging the urban-rural educational divide. (Photo by Akila Jayawardena/NurPhoto)
