Kazemi said NIOPEC is determined to fight against fuel smuggling and will continue its efforts until it is completely eradicated.
In another development, NIOPDC’s deputy said the company plans to reduce gasoline imports and put an end to imports of the product in several stages.
NIOPDC’s deputy Shahrokh Khosravani told Shana the company intends to achieve its planned targets through expanding CNG stations across the country as well as implementation of gasoline vapor programs.
Vapor gasoline programs will prevent the waste of a part of gasoline along with the boost of CNG consumption to help NIOPDC reduce gasoline imports, he said.
According to Khosravani, the level of gasoline imports depends on three key factors including production by oil refineries, overall consumption and the amount of storage of the product.
He pointed out that the total daily gasoline consumption of the country stands at 70 million liters per day.
