Despite the claim made by some media, delivery of cement for domestic use has increased, Ali Akbar Alvandian, the secretary of Cement Industry Employers Association of Iran told reporters at a press conference in Tehran on Tuesday.
Some media had claimed that Iran exported its produced cement before meeting the needs inside the country; meanwhile, the claim has been rejected by Alvandian.
From the total production of cement which has been 17.6 million mt during the three months in Iran, 16.4 million mt has been delivered to the various industries inside the country, and the rest exported, the official underlined.
And the figure shows a 12.2% growth while being compared with the preceding year, he added.
