Mohammad Shokri, CEO of Dehdasht Petrochemical Industries Company,
said the project—designed to produce 300,000 tonnes of heavy polyethylene
annually—is one of the key petrochemical developments in the region. “As of the
end of June, the project has made significant headway across all fronts, thanks
to the tireless efforts of our team, contractors, and shareholder support,” he
said in a statement.
The engineering phase is 91.9% complete, with civil and structural
works at 68.2%, and equipment installation and pre-commissioning activities
reaching 18.5%. Procurement progress stands at 43.1%, off-site activities at
41%, and human resource training and mobilization at 22.9%.
Dehdasht Petrochemical, majority-owned (69.5%) by Persian Gulf
Petrochemical Industries Company (PGPIC), alongside Momtazineh Petrochemical
and Kazerun Petrochemical, is backed by an investment package of €184 million
and 124 trillion rials. The project is slated for commissioning in the first
half of 2027.
“Despite challenges in financing, procurement, and operational
management, coordinated teamwork and shareholder backing have ensured continued
momentum,” Shokri said. “We remain fully committed to delivering this national
project on schedule, with transparency and diligence.”
Located in Dehdasht, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, the facility
will source its feedstock from Gachsaran Petrochemical. Utility needs—including
gas, raw water, power, and steam—have already been planned and secured.
The project’s latest general assembly also emphasized the importance
of accelerating construction efforts and supporting local workforce
development. Iran and Donya-e-Eqtesad newspapers were named as the project’s
official gazettes.
