Iran will invest $40 billion in the petrochemical sector to increase annual output from the current 66 million tons to 133 million tons over six years, managing director of the National Petrochemical Company told reports on Monday.
“By the end of the current fiscal (March 2020), four petrochemical projects will be inaugurated. Next year (March 2020-2021), 16 plants will start production and seven more will be operational the following year.
