Kermanshah polymer plan, the first phase of West Ethylene Pipeline and Kavian petrochemical plant will come online in near future, Bossaqzadeh said.

He noted that Mahabad and Kordestan petrochemical plants' progress was satisfactory as well, adding that "these national plans have experiencing a high jump in their construction".

"Fortunately, needed funds for the development of these projects have been provided and the needed tools and equipment have been supplied for them," he added.
