Speaking during the Judiciary Chief’s visit to the Hegmataneh complex
in Hamedan — part of a broader effort to address production challenges and
revive operations — the NPC CEO expressed gratitude for the judiciary’s support
and provided updates on recent measures taken.
“In recent days, we have focused on securing feedstock supply for the
complex. Fortunately, with a contract now nearing finalization, we are
optimistic about completing the value chain and utilizing the existing
investments. The goal is to source feedstock from within the province,” he
said.
The CEO noted that the necessary infrastructure, including a pipeline,
is already in place. “Once completed, this pipeline will allow us to eliminate
the costly and inefficient process of transporting feedstock by truck from the
south of the country.”
He stressed the strategic goal of building a feedstock production unit
adjacent to the complex, ensuring long-term operational stability and
eliminating past disruptions.
The government and NPC currently hold a 35% stake in the project,
while the remaining shares belong to private sector partners. “In cooperation
with the project’s major private shareholder, we are ready to co-invest in
establishing the feedstock unit. Encouragingly, the private partner has also
expressed readiness to contribute,” he added.
The Deputy Minister concluded by expressing hope that continued
progress and strategic decisions would lead to lasting stability and
development for this key industrial complex.
