While touring the plant, Mohammadi
called for acceleration of the construction work in the project, saying the
project was one of the most important projects in Iran’s petrochemical industry.
He said the plant would be fed
by Bidboland II Gas Refinery which is to come on-stream next Iranian calendar
year beginning on March 21.
Mohammadi, who is also deputy
petroleum minister in petrochemical affairs, said four other petrochemical
projects were under way which would be fed by the items produced at the
Gachsaran facility.
The CEO further expressed
optimism that the financial issued facing the project would be resolved by more
support from the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (PGPIC).
An investment of €424.7 million
and Rls. 7,165.2 billion has been made in the project which has so far made 59
percent progress and is planned to come on-stream by 2021
