In an interview with NIPNA, Sangdovini emphasized the strategic role
of regulation in aligning the activities of various petrochemical entities
under the guidance of the National Petrochemical Company (NPC), stating, “A
regulator can serve as a constructive force, fostering coherence in the
industry’s value chain.”
He highlighted Iran’s continued progress in the petrochemical sector,
driven by domestic expertise and advanced technologies, and underlined the
importance of expanding downstream and value-added industries as essential
components in completing the petrochemical value chain.
“Iran’s petrochemical industry holds substantial potential across all
segments, with high value-added capabilities,” he said. “Efforts in upstream
and downstream development have been effective, and with stronger cooperation
between Parliament and the government, we can attract new investments and
achieve further breakthroughs.”
Sangdovini stressed the need to shift the national view of
petrochemicals from a mere raw material exporter to a transformative,
job-creating industry: “Supporting this sector is crucial to preventing raw
material exports and promoting industrial productivity.”
He concluded by reiterating Parliament’s full backing for investments
in the oil and petrochemical sectors, calling the regulatory body a vital
instrument for coordinated, innovation-driven growth.
