According to the NPC, this support stems from the unique nature of
Petrofarhang’s shareholder base—comprising Iran’s academic and cultural
community—and the holding’s growing involvement in both upstream and downstream
sectors of the industry.
Feedstock Shortages and Production Challenges
During the session, Javad Zare’pour, CEO of Petrofarhang Holding,
identified feedstock supply for the Sabalan and Kimia Pars Middle East plants
as a primary concern. Due to nationwide supply imbalances, these plants
experienced a cumulative 260 days of halted production in the past year,
resulting in significant financial losses.
Zare’pour also highlighted the timely injection of ethylene produced
by Morvarid Petrochemical Company into the consumption pipeline as another
unresolved issue. He expressed optimism that these challenges will be addressed
soon under the proactive guidance of the NPC's leadership.
