On December 7, 2023, the groundbreaking ceremony for the water transfer from the Persian Gulf to the Ghadir Neyriz Steel Complex was held in the presence of a number of national and provincial officials. This mega project, with a capacity to transfer 6 million cubic meters of water per year to the industrial complex, will mark a turning point in the industrial development of the vast Fars province.

He described this day as a very auspicious one for Neyriz county and Fars province.

He emphasized the connection to and reliance on a sustainable water source as one of the most important factors in the industrialization of Neyriz and Fars. He added the water transfer from the Persian Gulf to Neyriz was a bold decision that would not have been possible without the efforts made and the support of all the officials in the county.

Mostafapour, referring to the social responsibility activities of Ghadir Neyriz Steel Complex, such as water supply to villages, construction of schools and hospitals, and support for sports and youth, stated: "Today, Ghadir Steel Complex is proud to be the water bearer of the region in the name of Prophet Abbas ibn Ali(AS) and with the help of Bab al-Havaej, in the future, Ghadir shareholders will be able to say that a major part of the development of Fars province will be achieved through this action."

The CEO of Ghadir Investment Company, while appreciating the actions of Ghadir Neyriz Steel Complex in the field of social responsibility, continued: "The biggest event in terms of social responsibility is job creation, which can be achieved through the establishment of consecutive factories. We support the actions of Ghadir Neyriz Steel Complex to improve the situation of the people in the region and we will spare no effort in this regard."

Dr. Mehdi Abbasi, CEO of Ghadir Investment Company, thanked the officials for their support and cooperation and pointed to the completion of the pelletizing plant with a capacity of 2.5 million tons per year in Neyriz Steel Complex. He emphasized the importance of conducting studies to complete the steel chain.

Referring to the energy imbalance in the field of electricity and gas for factories as one of the challenges facing the industries, he announced the plans of the Ghadir Group to provide sustainable electricity through renewable energy power plants and gas supply through LNG.
