Corrections.

Every substantive correction to a published profile, signal, or figure is recorded with its date and what changed. We do not overwrite a claim and move on. Where a record’s evidence state changes, for example, a reported figure that later fails verification, the record is updated and, where material, noted here.

If you believe something on Tehran Index is inaccurate, tell us, with a source where you can. We review every report against the original evidence and respond. Email desk@tehranindex.com.

Material published corrections are listed here with their dates.

2026-09-03, Takhfifan and Netbarg, the Competition Council ruling: our record, sourced to the regulator’s press announcement, dated the decision 25 December 2022 and said the fine was not disclosed. The numbered decision, session 531 of 20 December 2022, gives the date and the fine: 5.962 billion rial, about $15,000 at the time. More materially, the record presented the order to unwind the Netbarg transfer as standing. It was quashed in full by the Council’s appeal board on 21 April 2025 and the case remains undecided between the two bodies. Both entries on the Takhfifan record now carry the decisions themselves.

2026-09-03, Digikala, exchange admission: our record and two insight answers said Digikala had never completed a listing application, and a 31 August signal said no exchange filing had been published. The Tehran Stock Exchange’s admission board approved Digikala E-Commerce Group’s shares on 8 January 2025 and the exchange published the decision that day. Corrected to admitted, not yet listed or offered.

2026-09-03, Snapp, MTN shareholding: the 43 percent MTN stake was presented as a current holding. It rests on one 2020 interview with MTN’s chief financial officer and appears in no MTN filing from 2022 to 2025. Reattributed to the quote, with its date.

2026-08-06, Five insights and two records, perimeter and figure revisions: an external review found language in several earlier insights that crossed our stated coverage perimeter (business, technology and markets only), plus two figures that had drifted from the live registry. The field guide, the payments piece, the e-commerce piece and the travel piece were revised to state the access constraints factually and drop speculative framing; the Digikala group-company count was aligned with the live dossier (the group’s own materials list 10 or 11 companies, not 16), and the fintech firm count is now anchored to the registry (149 tracked at company level) alongside the industry estimate (~275). A Snapp operating fact was rephrased to describe the 2025 service disruptions operationally. Each revised piece carries a dated revision note.

2026-07-21, Alibaba (Safarhaye Alibaba): our record carried the founder as chief executive. Corrected to the current managing director, appointed August 2024, after a leadership-freshness review against Persian press and company sources.

2026-07-21, Sheypoor: our record carried the founder as chief executive. Corrected to the current chief executive, appointed July 2023 (per the investor’s primary announcement); the founder serves as chairman.

2026-07-21, ArvanCloud: the profile labelled the company independent. That label was removed: reporting and registry-based sourcing document a major institutional shareholder, while the company publicly disputes the extent, the ownership field now carries the sourced account of both positions rather than a label we cannot stand behind.

All three were surfaced by our own published benchmark run , the process working as designed.
