With the new price hike, diesel rose above 100 lira in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir.
The reinstatement of the SCT, which had been zeroed in early September, and supply problems in global diesel were effective in the increase. Reaching 100.31 TL on Istanbul's European side, the price was announced with paper labels at some stations because their two-digit displays were insufficient. In Osmaniye, farmers and combine harvester owners protested the hike.
