Esfahan, 26 July: Oil Minister Bijan Namdar-Zanganeh said on Sunday [24 July] that his ministry plans to raise the gas distribution capacity of National Iranian Gas Company by 350 to 400 per cent this year.

Zanganeh said establishment of gas pressure stations demonstrates a step towards promotion of national technology.
