MGT-75, the first domestically produced F-class Gas turbine in Iran, was unveiled by the MAPNA Group on 18 August 2025.
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. 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.
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. 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. 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.
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.
