Welandapola is a free price index for Sri Lanka. We track what everyday things actually cost — from a kilo of carrots to a used hatchback — and keep the history so you can see how prices move.
Price information in Sri Lanka is scattered across market bulletins, newspaper notices, supermarket shelves and classified ads. Comparing yesterday to today, or one market to another, usually means guesswork. Welandapola gathers those numbers into one place and keeps them, so a shopper can check a fair price before buying, a grower can see where produce is fetching more, and anyone can look back at how the cost of living has shifted.
Daily wholesale and retail prices for vegetables, fruits, rice, meat, seafood, dairy, bakery, beverages and household goods.
Prices broken down by market so you can compare Dambulla and Pettah wholesale rates against supermarket shelf prices.
Fuel prices by grade, LPG cylinder rates, and electric vehicle charging costs for running-cost comparisons.
Listed vehicle prices by make, model and year, price trends, regional statistics and an import tax calculator.
Gold rates by carat alongside a multi-year cost of living index for tracking household expenses over time.
A place to list items for sale and browse what others are offering, with every listing reviewed before it goes live.
The site is available in English, Sinhala and Tamil. Use the language switcher in the top navigation to change languages at any time — your choice is remembered on your next visit.
Prices are indicative. Markets move through the day, sellers quote differently by quantity and quality, and calculators such as the import tax estimator use published tariff schedules that can change. Treat everything here as a well-informed reference point, not a quotation. If you spot a figure that looks wrong, let us know so we can check the source.
