In January-March, consolidated steel output by Evraz enterprises grew by 12.4% QoQ, to 3.5 million tons.
The increase has to do with the growth of pig iron output following the capital repairs of the blast furnace No. 3 at Evraz ZSMK last year.
Steel sales increased by 8.4%, with semi-finished products sales up by 29%. At the same time ready-made goods sales fell by 2.7%.
