Up to now, the completion of steel production capacity of more than 115 million tons, has exceeded the steel production capacity of five years, the goal of 100 million tons in 2018 steel industry will continue to go to capacity-building work, no additional capacity, to prevent the re-burning of ground steel.
Adjustment and Upgrading Plan for the Iron and Steel Industry (2016-2020) pointed out that the net crude steel production capacity of steel and iron could be reduced by 100 million to 150 million tons by 2020. In the past two years, through the normalization, the elimination of backward production capacity, cleanup of illegal construction projects and joint enforcement In 2016, the excess capacity of crude steel in the country surpassed 65 million tons. In 2017, through thorough liquidation of strip steel, the nationwide crude steel production capacity will reach 50 million tons, basically completing capacity-building Objective To Jiangsu Province as an example, Jiangsu Province, total dissolved iron solution capacity of 6.34 million tons, involving nine companies, out of smelting equipment 10 units, ahead of schedule to complete the 2017 iron and steel production capacity of the target task.
However, Zhang Zhixiang, chairman of Allianz Metallurgical Chamber of Commerce, said: 'It should be recognized that the fundamentals of the steel industry are not solid at this stage. Capacity utilization and supply have basically entered a reasonable range and profit levels tend to be reasonable. All this is the result of supply-side reform. To avoid the expansion of the enterprise to go the old road. '' Xu Weili, Director of Steel Division of the Ministry of Industry Raw Materials Division also said that recently there are places and businesses to the ministries to express hope that new capacity can be produced, this phenomenon needs to be wary of.
Zhang Zhixiang believes that as a result of the warming of the market, the steel industry in the country is making a full rebound from the industry-wide loss in 2015 to a new profit cycle for the entire industry in 2017. Under this background, Impulse to expand production capacity.
According to incomplete statistics, since December, there have been over 20 steel enterprises in China releasing production replacement plans. It is noteworthy that most of the new capacity or equivalent replacement, no reduction and replacement, the company impressed by the new capacity.
For example, Xinyu Iron & Steel Group Co., Ltd. plans to phase-out two 50-ton electric arc furnaces by December 2020 with a total capacity of 1 million tons / year; but plans to build 100 tons of EAFs with a total capacity of 1 million tons / year. It plans to eliminate two 40-ton electric furnaces by 2020, with a total capacity of 800,000 tons. It plans to build a 70-ton electric furnace with a total capacity of 770,000 tons of pulverized steel and the other 30,000 tons of capacity to be used in Yunnan Province. Fujian Luoyuan Min Guang Steel intends to build a new 1250 cubic meters blast furnace, a 1280 cubic meters blast furnace, a total iron production capacity of 2.33 million tons; intends to build a 120-ton converter, a total of 1.4 million tons of steel production capacity. Fujian III An Steel intends to build a new 1200 cubic meters blast furnace, a total of 1.13 million tons of iron production capacity; to be a new 1250 cubic meters blast furnace 1, a total of 1.15 million tons of iron production capacity.
2018, the steel industry will continue to capacity.According to authoritative sources, the relevant departments of the NDRC has identified the 2018 key work arrangements for the steel industry, Development and Reform Commission Industry Coordination Division inspectors Xiaonong said that after two consecutive years to go production, supply basically entered a reasonable Interval, but at this stage is not strong, in some places overcapacity still exists, adjusting the structure of the task is still a long way to go .2018 should continue to grasp the pace of production capacity, according to the target responsibility system to do to capacity.
Xiaonong said that in 2018, the steel industry will focus on scientifically determining the target and tasks, prohibit new capacity increase, prevent edge reduction and increase edge, prevent strip steel from returning to the dead, persevere in resolving backward production capacity, withdraw enterprises that do not meet the requirements in accordance with the law and adopt ' Negative list 'irregular inspections.In the clearance of ground steel, the ministerial joint meeting will further clarify the responsibility system at the provincial level total responsibility, the establishment of long-term reporting mechanism to further study the non-compliance penalties.
For production replacement, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is also being revised implementation measures for steel production capacity replacement.Xu Wenli pointed out that there is currently replacement capacity in the steel displacement is not clear, in some places hit the ball side of the phenomenon, while not strictly enforce the ratio of capacity replacement requirements.Pu Steel, Special steel production capacity conversion problems, some companies to new special steel production capacity on the grounds of conversion of new capacity.
For example, some of the production capacity has been included in the capacity-to-production tasks, some of them have already enjoyed state policy support, some have lagged behind the country's phase-out deadline, and some have even replaced some of their foundry capacity with steel production capacity. Is not in line with state regulations, but some local governments would rather endorse these companies. "Xu Wenli said.
Xu Wenli also said that in the proportion of capacity replacement, many did not implement the regulations. There are clear requirements for capacity replacement, Beijing, Tianjin, the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other sensitive areas to replace the production capacity of not less than 1: 1.25 ratio of other non Sensitive areas should try to implement reduction and replacement, throughout the country in the preparation of production capacity replacement must follow this principle.
'Due to the same furnace corresponding to the general steel, special steel production capacity varies, the corresponding steel production capacity larger, smaller steel production capacity, some companies on the grounds of the new steel production capacity of new capacity conversion.' Xu Wenli said .
Xiaonong said 2018 will increase reorganization of steel enterprises, promote debt restructuring in accordance with market-oriented, and promote the stable operation of the steel market, to avoid speculation in futures, steel trade and other speculation, causing corporate panic.
