Background

According to the announcement of capacity replacement in October 2021, it is planned to build 2x100-tonne BOF with a capacity of 2300 thousand tonnes per annum and remove 3x50-tonne BOF with a capacity of 2550 thousand tonnes per annum.[1]

The company plans to construct one 1200m3 and one 1250m3 BF within the existing plant, with an annual output of 2.28 million tons of hot metal. The Environmental Impact Assessment report for this project was approved and made public on December 21, 2022.[2]

The company's BF project went into production in October 2024 successfully.[3]
