In an open session of the parliament on Tuesday, legislators cast 187 votes in favor and 58 against Aliabadi's appointment as industry minister, while 8 lawmakers were undecided and two votes were dismissed.
Born in Arak, in central Iran, in 1962, Aliabadi has served as the CEO of Iranian energy and infrastructure conglomerate MAPNA Group for over 15 years.
He has received his PhD in mechanical engineering from Khajeh Nasir Toosi University of Technology in Tehran.
Former Iranian Minister of Industry, Mine, and Trade, Reza Fatemi Amin was dismissed from the post last month after failing to regain the vote of confidence of lawmakers in the parliament.
