Chinese planners consider 10% cut in cement production

09 March 2017

China: The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is considering aiming for a 10% cut in cement production. The Chinese state planning body announced on 6 March 2017 that it is pushing to cut production capacity in a number of industries including coal, steel and cement, according to the Nikkei Asian Review. Some sources place Chinese cement production capacity at up to 3.5Bnt/yr and 30% of this is believed to be surplus. The commission intends to cut production capacity through market control and legislation. The change in policy from the NDRC coincides with the third consecutive year that China’s annual target for real economic growth has been lowered.

21 August 2013

China: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) had finalised details of an overall plan to reduce overcapacity in the cement industry according to Xin Renzhou, an official with the MIIT interviewed by an affiliate of the Xinhua News Agency.
