Returning Back of NPC to Glorious Days by Export Integration: Possibly to show the power of Iranian women in executive/political activities of IRI Government, the Managing Director of NPC (Mrs. Marziyeh Shahdaei) is struggling to return back the power of the Iranian petrochemical industries as of early 2000 by a serious effort in integration of the petrochemical industries’ exports. NIPNA has a report on this issue.
The National Petrochemical Company (NPC) is considering establishment of a specialized bank for petrochemical investments and financing, an MP said. Saeid Bastani, a member of the industries and mines committee of the Iranian parliament, spoke about the highlights of the committee’s Tuesday meeting which was held in the presence of Managing Director of National Petrochemical Company (NPC) Marziyeh Shahdaei.
Last year, Iranian petrochemical facilities processed nearly 54 million tons of petrochemical items. Iran launched 6 petrochemical projects in the previous calendar year which ended on March 20, according to Shahdaei during the session, said Bastani.
Moreover, managing feedstock supplies to petrochemical facilities including ethane, ethylene and propylene were among NPC’s biggest engagements in the previous year, said Shahdaei.
Marziyeh Shahdaei, who is also deputy petroleum minister in petrochemical affairs, had added that Iran’s petrochemical production capacity will hit 72 million tons annually by the end of the current calendar year.
Facilitating foreign direct investments in petrochemical projects has been one of the greatest concerns for NPC during the previous year.
