MAHSHAHR, Oct. 14 (NIPNA) – Petrochemical production in Iran’s Petrochemical Special Economic Zone (PETZONE) has remained stable despite international sanctions, underscoring the industry’s resilience and the country’s focus on self-reliance, a senior official said.


Mohammadreza Motiri, Managing Director of the PETZONE Organization, said the zone’s petrochemical plants have maintained operations under “the most difficult sanction conditions” through domestic engineering capabilities, efficient management, and strategic support from the National Petrochemical Company (NPC).

“Today, the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone has become a model of resilience, self-sufficiency, and productivity within Iran’s industrial landscape,” Motiri said at a meeting of senior oil and petrochemical executives on civil defense preparedness.

He attributed the success to “synergy among companies operating in the zone and the effective use of managerial and policy tools provided by the NPC.”

Despite international restrictions and economic pressure, Motiri said, companies within the zone have managed to localize key components, optimize resource management, and even record quantitative and qualitative growth in some product lines.

Located in southwestern Iran, the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone is one of the country’s main production hubs in the petrochemical sector. Motiri said the zone has benefited from NPC’s policy guidance, technical support, and strategic oversight to strengthen competitiveness and operational resilience.

Looking ahead, he said the zone’s priorities include sustainable development, advancement of local technologies, and greater attention to environmental and social responsibility. “We aim to ensure the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone continues to serve as the beating heart of Iran’s petrochemical industry,” Motiri added.
