SHANGHAI, May 9(SMM) - The domestic output of industrial silicon stood at 276,000 mt in April, up 5.4% month-on-month and 39.9% year-on-year according to SMM estimate. The domestic output of industrial silicon totalled 1.0258 million mt in January to April, a year-on-year increase of 23.62%. New capacity of silicon plant in Sichuan and Yunnan increased, where the output increased by nearly 17,000 mt on the month, contributing the main increase in output of industrial silicon in April. Operating rates of silicon plants in Fujian and Hunan increased from the previous maintenance, leading to a month-on-month output. Output in Xinjiang fell by nearly 8,000 mt on the month because of the maintenance of silicon plants in Yili, while output in Inner Mongolia also fell MoM for the same reason. As the capacities are expect to be resumed in Mary in Xinjiang and operating rates of silicon plants in Sichuan and Yunnan may improve, the output of industrial silicon is expected to increase to 290,000 mt in May.
