Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inaugurated different infrastructural projects, including a cement factory, in Iran's Western Kermanshah province on Sunday.
According to officials, a sum of approximately $300mln has been spent for the construction of the cement factory named Saman Gharb which has the capacity of producing 2.4mln tons of cement annually.
The factory has provided 450 job opportunities for the local people in the Kermanshah province.
Last month, Iran launched two new cement factories in the provinces of West Azarbaijan and Golestan.
Khoy cement factory, which has cost the country 140 million dollars, has the capacity to produce more than one million tons of cement each year.
Galikesh cement factory, which has employed some 210 workers and cost about 165 million dollars, has the capacity to produce more than 3,400 tons of cement per day.
Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO) announced earlier this month that the country has produced 23.411mln tons of cement in the first four months of the current Iranian year (March 21 to July 22) showing a 19% rise compared with the same period last year.
The report added that Iranian companies produced 6.372 million tons of cement in Tir (4th month in solar calendar, June 22 - July 22).
