The CEO added that he estimated the time needed for the completion of the capacity expansion project -if the gas is provided- to be three years.
It is worth noting that Sohar Aluminum Company currently employs 4,928 workers, of which 1,039 are employed directly by the firm, 1,624 working for companies providing support services, downstream units and export handling and 2,265 workers employed indirectly.
