Inner Mongolia to restrict ferroalloy output

It is reported that Inner Mongolia will maintain output quotas on calcium carbide and ferroalloy products as well as electricity restriction this year, in a bid to curb immethodical output increases of energy intensive products and strengthen industrial structure adjustment.

Calcium carbide and ferroalloy outputs in Hohhot, Baotou and Erdos will decrease year by year whilst outputs in Wuhai, Ulanqab and Xilingol League will rise modestly. Output quotas stand at 5 million and 3 million tonnes respectively for the products.
