Background

According to the production capacity swap announcement in December 2021, the company planned to build a 1500m³ blast furnace, and dismantle two 450m3 blast furnaces and one 530m3 blast furnace.[1] The 1500m³ blast furnace started to operate in 2021.[2]

In 2015, the company illegally built a 1280m³ blast furnace without a capacity swap.[3][4]

In July 2023, the company planned to build a 75-tonne and a 80-tonne electric-arc furnaces to replace a 40-tonne and a 100-tonne electric-arc furnaces.[5]
