Background

As the company failed to pass the preliminary review by Jiangsu Province due to voluntary abandonment of the regulatory announcement, and has now been included in the list of steel companies to be revoked.[1]

According to the capacity replacement plan in December 2019, the company plans to build a 1820m3 blast furnace and two 100-tonne basic oxygen furnaces (BOF).[2]The Environment Impact Assessment report of the project was approved in November 2022.[3]
