Mohsen Paknejad, referring to the trend of increasing diesel production in the country, stated: We have had a significant increase in diesel production, and while we were an importer of this product until the middle of last year, we have now become a producer.
Diesel production trend in recent years
Paknejad added: The amount of diesel production this year has reached 12 million liters per day, which has seen remarkable growth compared to last year. This increase in production has resulted from improvements in production processes and increased refinery capacity.

Economic and social impacts of increased production
He also pointed to the positive impacts of this increase in production on the country's economy and said: With the increase in diesel production, not only is the domestic need of the country met, but the possibility of exporting this product has also arisen.

Paknejad emphasized that, given the planning done, it is expected that diesel production will continue to grow in the coming years, and the country will become one of the main producers of this product in the region. He also pointed to the importance of optimizing fuel consumption and using modern technologies in the production process.
In conclusion, Mohsen Paknejad noted that the increase in diesel production should be carried out while maintaining environmental standards and considering economic considerations so that the country can achieve sustainable development.
