He also provided an update on the "Hengam Petrochemical
Project," which is expected to be fully operational by the end of the
current year.
According to reports from the company's public relations
department, Abdul Ali Ali Asgari stated that the "Hengam Petrochemical
Project," covering an area of 25 hectares, is in its final stages before
going into operation. This project boasts a daily production capacity of 2,200
tonnes of ammonia and 3,500 tonnes of urea. It has achieved an impressive
record of 18 million person-hours of accident-free work since the beginning of
its implementation.
Regarding the "Safir Petrochemical Project," which
is one of the ongoing projects of the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries
Company, Asgari added that this project, with a production capacity of 136,000
tonnes and a value of $1,700 per ton, is expected to enter the startup phase by
the end of the current year.
Asgari emphasized that the "Safir Petrochemical
Project" is the largest industrial rubber production project in Iran and
the western Asia region. Its completion will have a significant impact on
meeting domestic needs, increasing exports, and expanding Iran's presence in
global markets.
The Managing Director of the Persian Gulf Petrochemical
Industries Company also highlighted the remarkable growth of the company's
production, with an increase of over 9.7% compared to the previous year. This
growth has resulted in the accumulation of 128 trillion rials in consolidated
profits in the holding, representing an impressive 64% growth compared to the
previous year. Additionally, this year, the general assembly has decided to
distribute a 70 rial dividend per share among shareholders, including the
Justice Shares program beneficiaries. This distribution of profits will benefit
a significant portion of the Iranian population and a substantial portion of
retirees.
The progress in Iran's petrochemical industry, as
exemplified by these projects, highlights the nation's commitment to expanding
its industrial capabilities, contributing to the economy, and promoting social
well-being.
