The anticipated Duty Free Zone within the Colombo Port City project is nearing completion, said the Department of Government Information.

It added that State Minister for Investment Promotion, Dilum Amunugama, recently engaged in an observation tour of the site to assess progress and address any existing challenges.

The terminal, which will house the Duty Free zone, is currently in its final stages of construction.

Unlike traditional airport duty-free shops, this facility will cater to a broader audience.

Individuals who do not purchase goods at the airport will now have the opportunity to shop within the Colombo Port City, directly related to their passports.

State Minister Dilum Amunugama engaged with officials, discussed existing challenges, and provided instructions to the Ministry Secretary and other relevant authorities to address any issues promptly.
