Among the most notable is the Master Gas Network Expansion Project—Phase 4, which is expected to be announced in the coming months.</p> <p ><br> "We have strengthened our readiness by adding a new production line that increased nominal production capacity by approximately 100,000 metric tons per year, bringing it to nearly 500,000 metric tons, with the potential to reach an actual capacity of about 600,000 metric tons per year depending on project specifications. We als9 continue to benefit from strong domestic demand," said the CEO.</p> <p ><br> Darweesh confirmed that the company has a plan to export part of its production, but is currently focused on meeting domestic demand, which exceeds available production capacity.</p>
