China to Further Tighten Steel Production Curbs in Winter Strategic Research Institute Published on : 24 Sep, 2021, 6:21 am Chinese government, which has already tamed the runaway steel industry by cutting crude steel production in August by more than 16 million tonnes as compared to highest ever record of 99.5 million tonnes in May, plans to further tighten pollution control regulations in coming months, which could result further reduction in steel production. For the 2021-2022 Winter, the government’s emphasis remains focused on lowering the particulate matter concentration of toxic air pollution PM2.5 and reducing the number of days that the central government officially categorizes as a heavy pollution day, especially during the 2022 Winter Olympics from 4 to 20 February 2022 in Beijing and towns in the neighbouring Hebei province China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment’s recently released draft plan intends to include more of the China’s northern, eastern, and central regions in its annual campaign to reduce air pollution during winter in about 65 cities or districts. Ministry of Ecology and Environment has added the northern parts of Hebei and Shanxi provinces in North China, the southern and eastern part of Shandong province in East China and southern regions of Henan in Central China to those parts of the country included in previous winter heating plans. Production curtailment on steel mills remains a key part of this winter’s plan to fight air pollution, but a major difference this year is that this winter’s curbs will be more severe that from last year’s. Hebei, the largest steelmaking province in China, has so far still been the only province on track to its annual steel output target, led by strict cuts carried out in Tangshan city from March. Steel mills in Jiangsu, Shandong and Liaoning, the second, third and fourth largest steelmaking provinces in China, respectively, have gradually launched steel output cuts since the start of September. Integrated steel mills categorized as “A”, indicating outstanding performance in environmental protection and electric arc furnace-based mills using 100% steel scrap as raw materials, will be permitted to scale down production at their own discretion to contribute to pollution reduction. However, they will need to ensure that their steel production over the October-March period is not higher on year As for other steel producers, the severity of the output curbs imposed on them will be determined by their ranking of environmental performance. The lower the rank is, the higher the curbing ratio will be. For last winter, only the Qian’an steel works of Shougang Group in Hebei’s Tangshan city was awarded the top “A” ranking. All other major steelmakers were ranked “B”, “B-”, “C”, and “D”. China has rolled out such campaigns every winter since 2017 as air pollution tends to be serious in the colder, northern parts of China over the period when coal fired central heating services to residential households are activated. The winter heating season generally runs from October 1 to the following March 31.
Turkish rebar export quotes stable despite absent demand 1363 Views Turkish rebar producers have kept their export quotes mostly unchanged since last week despite the absence of demand in the global market. Turkish mills’ official quotes stand mostly at $670-680/tonne fob Turkey actual weight. A Turkish mill tells Kallanish: “There is literally zero demand. The market is on wait-and-see mode for both buyers and sellers. Although China has returned from the holiday with an upward trend, the market first wants to see stabilisation. Although the [Chinese real estate giant] Evergrande deal on Wednesday has settled nerves to some extent, it has not provided full relief.” Turkish producers find no reason to decrease prices amid absent demand. However, they are seen to be ready for negotiations over firm bids. Even major export markets such as Yemen and Israel are seen to have halted purchases this week. Although Turkish mills had been expecting Asian demand to rebound, the Evergrande debt contagion issue is currently undermining these expectations. No remarkable sales have been heard so far this week, with producers having seemingly already closed business for the week. “We are not expecting to see a change in demand this week. Things have to become clearer first, specifically with Evergrande,” says another mill. The Evergrande issue, meanwhile, is expected to keep markets on edge for another couple of weeks, hampering business. Following some sales in previous weeks, Turkish mills are continuing to receive inquiries about billet from North Africa. However, no fresh sale has been heard as buyers are bidding at much lower prices compared to Turkish offers. In Turkey’s domestic market, the central bank’s announcement to decrease interest rates has surprised most market participants and caused the lira to weaken sharply against other currencies. Due to the lira depreciation, mills have increased prices on a TRY basis. With the lira at 8.75 per dollar by close of business Thursday, Turkish mills’ domestic rebar prices were mostly at TRY 6,840-6,900/t ex-works, including VAT. Although the weakening of the lira caused stockist demand to improve slightly on Thursday, market instability and shortages of certain rebar sizes persist. Besides poor demand arising from uncertainties, Turkish mills are seen struggling with higher energy costs – which are expected to increase further – and costlier freight prices. Their demand for scrap, consequently, remains poor. Burcak Alpman Turkey
Mechel Supplies Steel for Agricultural Plants in Tatarstan By Strategic Research Institute on Sep 27, 2021 08:58 am Mechel Group's metal trading company Mechel-Service has supplied over 600 tonnes of rolled metal for the construction of grain storage facilities and cowsheds for OOO Khuzangaevskoye in Tatarstan. Mechel-Service supplied for the construction of two cowsheds of 500 heads each with milking parlors, three calf houses of 300 heads each and four granaries of Khuzangaevskoye over 600 tonnes of rolled metal, mainly rebar, sheet metal and beams produced by the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant.

Nepal’s Steel Rerollers Protest over Import Duty on Steel Billets By Strategic Research Institute on Sep 27, 2021 09:02 am Republica Nepal reported that Nepal’s steel rerollers have slammed the government’s move to raise the taxes on the import of billet. Nepal Steel Rolling Mills Association Vice President & Proprietor of Saakha Steel Mr Kiran Prakash Saakha said “The government decision has marred two dozen iron rod manufacturers while benefiting just six factories. These factories could not compete in prices as their products have become expensive by NPR 8-10 a kg compared to the ones receiving benefits from the government. Apart from impacting a majority of the manufacturers in the segment, it will also adversely affect the revenue collection by the government.” He added “The two dozen iron-billet based industries have been employing around 15,000 workers, which has been put to risk with the government's recent decision.” Nepal government, citing the need to facilitate the domestic manufacturing industries, reduced the customs tax and excise duty on imported sponge iron to zero through the revised budget for the fiscal year 2021/22. Prior to the introduction of the substitution bill, the customs tax on imported sponge iron was NPR 4.75 per kilogram. Also, an excise duty of NPR 1.65 per KG was levied on the iron bars produced using such sponge iron. The new bill introduced by Sharma has removed both the sources of government revenue. On the other hand, Nepal government has raised the duty on the import of iron billet to 4.75% while imposing additional NPT 2.65 excise duty on the imported raw material.

Steel Minister Announces Plans for Steel Stockyard in Tripura SEZ By Strategic Research Institute on Sep 27, 2021 09:29 am East Mojo reported that India’s Steel Minister Mr Ram Chandra Prasad Singh announced plans to set up a steel stockyard at Sabroom in Tripura. Mr Singh said that “Tripura is going to be the gateway to the north-east in terms of clearance for use of Chittagong port in Bangladesh and establishment of Agartala-Akhaura rail link. The Agartala-Akhaura rail link will be further expanded because it will be possible to transport goods from West Bengal in a very short time and at low cost.” He said “Various construction works are closed during the monsoon season. Therefore, the need for stockyards has increased to avoid any kind of obstruction in the work. There were plans to build a stockyard to store steel in the Sabroom. Further discussions with ministry officials will ensure the construction of a stockyard in Sabroom.” The SEZ is being set up at an estimated cost of INR 635.5 crore at Paschim Jalefa village in Sabroom under South Tripura district with the approval of Ministry of Commerce and Industries after the NITI Aayog recommended setting up the SEZ for agro-based food processing, rubber, bamboo and textiles sectors.
Chhattisgarh High Court Puts Auction of Dantewada Mine on Hold By Strategic Research Institute on Sep 27, 2021 09:32 am Chhattisgarh High Court has ordered to put on hold fresh auction of the iron mine in Kamalpur village in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh. Chhattisgarh High Court division bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice Rajani Dubey directed that no third-party rights could be created on the mine in question and placed its auction on hold. The bench said “On the said date, this Court shall hear petitioner’s prayer for the interim relief. However, in the meanwhile, it is observed that the proceeding for leasing out the subject mining area under the subject Notice Inviting Tender shall remain subject to the final outcome of the writ petition.” Jindal Steel and Power Limited had sought the judicial intervention in the matter as it had acquired the mining lease and made investments to execute the prospecting licence. But the Chhattisgarh government announced the mine’s auction all over again by invoking the 2021 amendment to Mines and Minerals Amendment Act, 2015. This effectively meant that JSPL is expected to go through the bidding route if it intended to acquire the rights of the iron ore mine in Dantewada. In a writ petition filed by Neco Jaiswal, the same Bench of the high court ordered on 16 September, “The proceedings for leasing out the subject mining area shall remain subject to the final outcome of the writ petition.” Both petitions would come up for hearing next on 6 October.
Labour Party Unveils Green Plan for British Steel Industry By Strategic Research Institute on Sep 27, 2021 09:36 am UK’s Opposition Labour Party’s Shadow Business Secretary Mr Ed Miliband has unveiled GBP 3 billion investment plans over the coming decade to decarbonize UK’s steel industry at the party’s Brighton conference where shadow ministers are setting out a policy programme to take on UK Prime Minister Mr Boris Johnson. He pointed to similar plans unveiled by US president Mr Joe Biden which are designed to future-proof heavy industry while meeting climate targets. Mr Miliband said the party would deliver on a green new deal but moved to assure unions the transition to a cleaner economy would not mean the decline of manufacturing jobs. He said ‘About workers in oil and gas. Let me say to those people, including in this hall, I get your worries. I grew up in the 1980s. I am an MP in Doncaster, a former mining constituency. We remember what the Tories did. I know our responsibility, this climate transition must leave no worker, no family, no community behind.” He also took aim at Mr Boris Johnson’s remarks in August that Ms Margaret Thatcher closing the mines aided in lowering carbon emissions, saying ‘Let’s lay to rest the idea that these Tories can somehow manage a just or fair green transition. A couple of months back, Boris Johnson was challenged on Tory credentials on climate change.” Whilst Governments around the world are committing to their domestic industries with long-term strategic investment in green steel production, the Conservatives have failed to invest in the transition, have attempted to weaken safeguards that protected our steelmakers from being undercut by cheap steel imports, and have splashed tens of millions on imported steel to build British schools and hospitals. Labour’s plan to back the industry would support businesses, workers, and unions together to put UK steel at the heart of national industrial strategy.

OECD Warns of Sharp Downturns when Steel Demand Loses Momentum By Strategic Research Institute on Sep 27, 2021 09:40 am The OECD Steel Committee met last week to discuss the state of steel market conditions in the industry and held in-depth discussions regarding the global steel market situation and its outlook. The Committee expressed concerns that the significant and persistent non-market structural overcapacity, with recent indicators showing an estimated global capacity-production gap of 478 million metric tonnes in 2021, may trigger sharp downturns in the future when steel demand growth loses momentum. The Committee discussed policy approaches to ensure a level playing field for a healthy global steel industry as market-distorting government interventions have been feeding much of the additions to capacity in many economies. Global steel demand is expected to recover in 2021 from the slump of 2020, but global growth expectations are currently less buoyant as compared to this spring reflecting weaker prospects in China and several other emerging markets. A number of risks weigh on the outlook. Excess capacity remains high and steel demand growth is expected to remain modest in the long term. Reigning in growing global excess capacity driven by harmful government interventions, such as government subsidies and investment policies remains a key priority. Those structural risks should be addressed urgently, as they could lead to a severe market downturn when steel demand growth begins to moderate from the current post-pandemic recovery phase. In this context, the Steel Committee recognised that the work of Global Forum on Steel Excess Capacity is as relevant as ever, and welcomed the upcoming GFSEC Ministerial Meeting to be held on 1 October. The latest available data from the OECD show that global steelmaking capacity could increase from 2452.7 million tonne in 2020 to 2485.8 million tonne in 2021, following growth in capacity which began in 2019. Delegates expressed their concerns that current OECD data on investments show that as much as 55.6 million tonne of steelmaking capacity are in the planning stages for the next three years (2022-24), while 47.9 million tonne are currently underway for completion. This is the case particularly for the Middle East and some Asian emerging market economies. The Committee was concerned that some of these new capacity projects are funded by overseas investments, many of which are publicly supported and assisted investments driven more by policy considerations than market forces. In this context, the Committee underscored the need to engage with all relevant stakeholders to foster a better understanding of those developments and address their risks, reiterating the need for all jurisdictions to allow market principles and forces to drive steel investment to ensure a balanced and sustainable growth of the steel industry worldwide. The Committee advanced work to build a comprehensive database for subsidies and government support measures provided to steel firms that paves the way for evidence-based analyses and policy recommendations. The Committee also advanced its work on state-owned enterprises and their role in world steel markets, and reviewed new analytical work aimed at developing a framework for identifying suspicious patterns of trade consistent with circumvention and other schemes designed to undermine trade measures on steel products. Working with over 100 countries, the OECD is a global policy forum that promotes policies to preserve individual liberty and improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. The OECD Steel Committee has 25 members Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the UK, the US and the EU. In addition, five associates (Brazil, Kazakhstan, Romania, Russia and Ukraine) and seven participants (Argentina, Bulgaria, Egypt, India, Malaysia, South Africa and Chinese Taipei) bring their perspectives to the Committee’s work. A number of other economies also participate in some Steel Committee meetings as invitees.

MMK Metalurji Turkey Orders Roll Coating System from Danieli By Strategic Research Institute on Sep 28, 2021 08:54 am Russian steel maker MMK Metalurji has ordered new Danieli Service chemical roll-coaters for its two hot-dip galvanizing lines in Dörtyol and Istanbul in Turkey. The upgrading, featuring DanCoaters installed in an horizontal configuration and related controls, resulted in improved control for accuracy and repeatability of the coating thickness, saving coating material and reducing scrap. DanCoaters are equipped with an efficient system that provides full, continuous control of position and pressure, as well as the other coating parameters (such as roll speed), thus allowing a specific paint thickness to be applied evenly across the strip surface. The new design also can be retrofitted to most manufacturers’ older machines, with minimal impact to production and downtime. DanCoaters are designed to meet safety requirements while maintaining full equipment operation: nip feed guards, carters, safety switches, pins, foot walks, handrails, safety interlocks, etc., are designed in conjunction with the final customer’s needs in order to minimize potential hazards. Danieli Service advisory and MMK maintenance teams executed the job during a maintenance shutdown thanks to accurate planning and a plug and work package.
