What are the conditions for removing the car lottery?
According to the online economy report, quoted by Tasnim, Minister of Industry Reza Fatemi Amin said today on the sidelines of the Industry and Mining Day regarding the situation of car imports: The regulations for car imports will be determined tomorrow at the meeting of the government board.
On Wednesday, May 21, 1401, car import was released after a lot of struggle. According to Ali Bahadri Jahormi, the spokesperson of the government, this action has been taken in order to increase competitiveness and remove the suspicion of monopoly, adjust the car price and compensate for the lack of production to the extent required by the market.
This regulation was compiled in 10 paragraphs and was in the turn of approval in the government board. The condition of the dollar limit in the car import regulations has been removed and car imports will be carried out with tariffs. Currently, after two months have passed since the news of the liberalization of car imports, its regulations have not yet been approved.

Seyedreza Fatemi-Amin also told reporters: In the first quarter of this year, compared to the same period last year, a significant growth in car production and also the absence of incomplete car production have been registered.
He added: The plan that the ministry took from car manufacturers this year is to produce more than 1.5 million cars, and 98 percent of that plan has been achieved this spring. As it was said earlier, the Ministry of Peace has planned to gradually eliminate the car lottery in 1401, although this phrase was not correctly conveyed in some media and it was not decided from the beginning that the lottery would be eliminated from the beginning of the year, but to This will happen gradually and throughout the year.
The Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade added: To eliminate the lottery, several things must be done, the first of which is to improve production, because the imbalance between supply and demand with the supply of 900,000 devices last year and against the production demand of more than 1,500,000 A device has caused a gap to be created and the car market to be disturbed.
Fatemi Amin stated that the further we go in 2011, the production of cars will increase and this gap between supply and demand will decrease, and noted: This year, the production of more Peugeot 206 cars is on the agenda, as well as Tara and Shahin cars four times. It will be produced more than last year. The second axis to eliminate the lottery is the import of cars, whose regulations have been designed and will soon be approved by the government. Our estimate is that a part of the demand in the market will be answered by doing imports.
The Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade stated: There are several conditions and rules in the car import regulations, the first of which is the existence of after-sales services for imported cars and another condition, which was also approved by the parliament, is the need to transfer technology.
The Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade continued: The main function of the commodity exchange is for products such as steel, petrochemicals, wheat, corn, etc. We are not against the sale of cars in the commodity exchange, but there must be rules so that the work is done in a correct and principled way; In the recent release of the products of one of the car manufacturers, the work was not done properly and therefore the release was canceled.
Fatemi Amin further said about the industrial power cut: In the past years, three thousand megawatts of investment should have been made in the field of electricity, but it was not done. For example, in units located in industrial towns, these outages will be one day a week.
He said: This issue and the power outage created a wave in the cement industry and the price of each packet of cement falsely reached 43 thousand tomans, but with the supply of electricity to the units, it has now decreased to less than 36 thousand tomans.
Fatemi Amin emphasized: “This year, we cannot do anything special regarding electricity production and we have to manage the same amount of electricity available, but in the medium and long term, the construction of more than 12,000 megawatts of power plants has been started by industrial and mining units.”
Regarding the objection of some members of the steel chain to the set prices, he added: Most of the price coefficients are determined in the commodity exchange, however, we have negotiated with the commodity exchange so that the prices and coefficients are determined more precisely.
