Background

The construction of the plant unofficially started in 1974, when the contract for the supply of construction equipment was signed. Active construction began in 1978, when the construction of the building of the mechanical repair shop began.[1] The first products produced at the plant were oxidized pellets in 1982, and in 1983 the production of the direct reduced iron (DRI) was launched. In 1984, the first steel was produced in the electric arc furnace shop, using the DRI produced in-house. Since 2006, the plant has been a part of the Metalloinvest Holding.[1]

EAF expansion

As of May 2021, Metalloinvest has announced plans to build an additional EAF (EAF #5) and a new Ladle Furnace (LF #4) and selected Danieli as the supplier. The EAF #5 was scheduled to be commissioned in 2023 and would increase the plant's production capacity by an additional 1.2 MTPA.[2] Once built EAF #5 was expected to replace EAF #2.[3]

As of October 2024, there have not been any updates. The project may be put on hold due to the sanctions imposed on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.

Metalloinvest has not published operational results or annual reports since 2021, hence it is unclear what the unit-level status and productions levels are.[4] However, the plant seems to be operating.[5]
