MGT-75 gas turbine
MGT-75, the first domestically produced F-class gas turbine in Iran, was unveiled by the MAPNA Group on 18 August 2025.
Production
On 18 August 2025, Iran unveiled its first domestically produced F-class gas turbine, named the MGT-75, manufactured by the MAPNA Group. This achievement positioned Iran among only seven countries worldwide with this advanced technology.[1] Previously, in 2017, MAPNA successfully developed and launched an improved, locally produced E-class gas turbine that produces 185 megawatts with an efficiency of 36 percent.[2]
Characteristics
F-class gas turbines are durable, high-efficiency machines primarily used for large-scale electricity generation, with each unit capable of producing between 250 and 300 megawatts.[3] In a combined-cycle setup, the MGT-75 is expected to achieve nearly 60 percent efficiency, significantly reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions compared to older models. MAPNA states that the MGT-75 has a power output of 222 megawatts and employs a can-annular combustion system.[4] By incorporating advanced features such as a three-dimensional axial compressor, single-crystal and directionally solidified blades, an improved cooling system, and modern thermal coatings, the turbine is said to deliver performance and efficiency comparable to global standards.[5]

Exports
On 16 September 2025, Iran supplied Russia with the high-efficiency MGT-75 gas turbine to replace the Siemens equipment that was subject to sanctions.[7][8]
