- Scale & Scope:
- Massive Production: Manages a huge production capacity (over 90 million tons per year as of recent targets) from numerous petrochemical complexes across Iran.
- Global Player: Positions Iran as one of the world's top 10 petrochemical producers and a major exporter globally.
- Comprehensive Value Chain: Oversees production of a wide range of products, from basic feedstocks (like ethylene, methanol, propylene) to polymers (polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC), fertilizers, and various chemical intermediates.
- Major Projects: Responsible for developing mega-complexes, notably in the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone (PSEEZ) in Asaluyeh, leveraging the giant South Pars gas field.
- Structure: While NPC sets strategy, policy, and major projects, actual production is carried out by numerous subsidiary companies and joint ventures under its supervision.
- In essence: NPC is the Iranian government's powerful arm for developing, regulating, and expanding the country's strategically vital petrochemical sector, leveraging its hydrocarbon resources for economic growth and global market presence.
