TEHRAN, June 10 (NIPNA) – Golestan Petrochemical Industries Co. has approved a three-phase development program aimed at expanding the downstream value chain of its urea and ammonia operations, with a focus on increasing product diversification and strengthening its position in agricultural and chemical markets.

According to the company, the board of directors approved the project on June 9, 2026, authorizing the phased implementation of new production units designed to generate additional value from existing feedstocks and broaden the company’s product portfolio.

The first phase of the project includes the construction and commissioning of a sulfur-coated urea fertilizer unit and related utility facilities. The product is designed to improve nutrient efficiency in agricultural applications and enhance nitrogen utilization in soil.

In the second phase, the company plans to expand into sulfate-based fertilizers through the development of sulfuric acid, ammonium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and calcium chloride production units. These products are used across agricultural and chemical industries and are expected to support entry into new market segments.

The third phase focuses on nitrate-based fertilizers and includes plans for nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, and potassium nitrate production facilities. These materials serve as key inputs for agricultural fertilizers and a range of industrial chemical applications.

The company stated that implementation of each phase remains subject to obtaining the necessary approvals and permits from relevant authorities. These include establishment licenses, environmental permits, land-use approvals, confirmation of sustainable feedstock supply, and access to required infrastructure such as water, electricity, natural gas, and supporting utilities.

Golestan Petrochemical added that securing the necessary financing for each stage of development will also be a prerequisite for project execution.
