TEHRAN Dec 28 (Shana)--The Persian Gulf Holding has plans to hit the 22 mt/y of petrochemical output in a bid to reach its rated capacity within the next five years, said the holding's chief.

Persian Gulf Holding governs fifteen state-run petrochemical companies: Bandar Imam Petrochemical Plant, Arvand Petrochemical Plant, Shahid Tondguyan Petrochemical Plant, Bou Ali Sina Petrochemical Plant, Fajr Petrochemical Plant, Khuzestan Petrochemical Plant, Petrochemical Non-Industrial Operations Company, Rah Avaran Fonoun Jonoub Company, Nouri Petrochemical Company, Pars Petrochemical Plant, Mobin Petrochemical Plant, Pazargard Non-Industrial Operations Company, Petrochemical Industries Development Management Company, Petrochemical Commercial Company and International Petrochemical Company.
