The refinery is being built by private investors.
He said NIORDC supports the projects and has offered its share of the project.
Phase I of the project is now 90% complete and its petrol output will come online by the end of the current Iranian calendar year to March 2017, Kazemi added.
Besides, Bank Mellat has so far supplied €280m for completion of the project and is expected to offer more funds parallel with the project's progress.
Persian Gulf Star Gas Condensate Refinery is the first refinery in Iran to be fed by gas condensate and is being developed for treating 360,000 barrels/day of the commodity.
The second phase of the project will come online with the production capacity of 24ml/d by September 2016 and the final phase of the project will add another 12ml/d to the refinery's output and will become operational by early 2017.
Iran currently imports 5 ml/d of gasoline to meet its growing demand. The startup of Persian Gulf Star Refinery would let Iran even export 3 to 4 ml/d of gasoline.
