Three nickel pig iron (NPI) plants in Inner Mongolia were set to be suspended for maintenance this month due to aging facilities, SMM learned.

SHANGHAI, Jan 24 (SMM)－Three nickel pig iron (NPI) plants in Inner Mongolia were set to be suspended for maintenance this month due to aging facilities, SMM learned.

We estimate about 1,250 mt of nickel ouput will be lost, accounting for 4% of China’s high-grade NPI output.

SMM forecast China’s high-grade NPI output to drop 8% to 35,000 in January from the previous month as a number of other plants in the coastal area are also under maintenance work.

China will likely see excess NPI supply in Q3

The Chinese market is expected to see an excessive supply of nickel pig iron (NPI) in Q3, following well-balanced demand and supply by end-May, as consumption from stainless steel mills may not be strong enough to sustain a draw in high-grade NPI inventories.

China NPI output fell 7.46% in February on coronavirus impact

High-grade NPI accounted for 35,800 mt in Ni content, down 6.89% from January, as the COVID-19 outbreak deterred shipments of adjuvant to high-grade NPI plants. Substantial production cut at stainless steel mills in February depressed prices of high-grade NPI, which added to cost pressure at NPI producers and promoted them to reduce output.
