The figure shows 67% growth compared to the same period last
year when the country’s daily output stood at around 63 million litters.
The report said that implementation of refining projects,
completion of new phases, and generally speaking, the development of refinery
industry have contributed to setting this new record.
Earlier, the managing-director of National Iranian Oil
Refining and Distribution Company had said that with a 105 million litters per
day output, Iran will have some 20 million litters a day of gasoline more than
the amount it needs for domestic consumption in the second half of the Iranian
calendar year (ending on March 20).
However, he noted that the increase in gasoline consumption
need to be brought under control by optimizing consumption, further use of CNG
and reducing fuel consumption of vehicles.
