DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0b805c/iran_infrastructur) has announced the addition of the "Iran Infrastructure Report Q4 2011" report to their offering.

In terms of recent news:

  • A spokesperson for the Iraqi Electricity Ministry has announced that the gas pipeline from Iran to Iraq will be completed by 2012. Iraq is planning for its post-invasion future and is thus strengthening its economic ties with Iran. The pipeline project is scheduled to run for five years and will carry 35mn cubic metres (cu m) of natural gas for two Iraqi power stations daily.
  • The US$150mn railroad is part of a 1,000km railway line construction project which was agreed by the three countries in September 2007. Iranian engineers are carrying out the construction of approximately 265km of railway inside Turkmenistan, with the Turkmen section of the line due to be completed by end- 2011. The line will cover some 90km in Iran, 700km in Turkmenistan and 210km in Kazakhstan.

Despite the commitment of major partners such as China, BMI expects to see the construction industry contract on the back of inflation and the dearth of investment sources, with industry value shrinking by 0.1-0.6% between 2012-2015. BMI expect the sector to be worth IRR813,917bn (US$54.31bn) by the end of the forecast period in 2015.

Companies Mentioned:

  • Iran Power Plant Projects Management Co (Mapna)
