What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Starting September 28, 2026, SOCAR, which owns Italiana Petroli, began introducing a mechanism to limit petrol and diesel prices across its Italian service stations. This move follows SOCAR's acquisition of Italiana Petroli and is part of Azerbaijan's expansion into European markets. The decision comes after the Italian government called on energy companies to help contain rising fuel costs for households and businesses.
