Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
STAR Rafineri has launched engineering, procurement and construction work on a new jet fuel (Kero-Merox) unit backed by roughly TL 6 billion of investment. The refinery, owned by Azerbaijan's SOCAR, expects the project to lift its annual diesel output by about 600,000 tons, reducing Turkey's reliance on imported diesel while improving production flexibility and energy efficiency. The size of the commitment signals continued long-cycle investment in Turkish downstream capacity despite currency and margin volatility. Watch for the construction timeline and startup date, which will determine when the added diesel volumes reach the market.
