Henan-based Anyang Steel shuts down two blast furnaces

Steel mills in China's Henan Province were recently requested by central government authorities to cut production by 50 percent in the three months up to the end of the current year. In this context, Henan-based steelmaker Anyang Iron and Steel Group Corporation Ltd has lately shut down two blast furnaces, each of 400 cubic meter capacity. The provincial government of Henan has been implementing the steel production limitation policy through rationing of power supplies.
