TEHRAN: Iran will halt gasoline imports from September, ISNA news agency quoted the oil minister as saying on Monday, as the country aims to achieve self-sufficiency by increasing production of the motor fuel.
Minister Bijan Zanganeh said Iran’s gasoline production increased by 15 million litres per day last year. He said Iran would produce an extra 12 million litres of gasoline per day in the next four months, with 12 million litres per day added to that by the end of the Iranian calendar year in March.
