Steel mills in Xinjiang, including Xinjiang Ba Yi Iron and Steel (a subsidiary of China Baowu Steel Group), Xinjiang Kunlun Steel, Xinjiang Minxin Iron Steel Group, and Xinjiang Kunyu Iron & Steel, began reducing their daily crude steel output by 10% starting Monday, March 24.

The initiative aims to align with Beijing's efforts to address overcapacity and curb emissions. This move is expected to reduce China's daily steel production by approximately 2,000 tons.
