Zaporizhstal, the Ukrainian steel mill owned by Metinvest, has released its production figures for April and the first four months of 2026.
In April, the mill produced 193,500 metric tons of pig iron, 156,600 metric tons of crude steel, and 159,100 metric tons of finished steel, representing year-on-year declines of 31.6%, 42.1%, and 30.3%, respectively.
During the January–April period of 2026, Zaporizhstal's pig iron output reached 1.01 million metric tons, down 10.5% year on year. Crude steel and finished steel production totaled 914,700 metric tons and 819,600 metric tons, respectively, decreasing by 10.2% and 5.3% compared to the same period in 2025.
Zaporizhstal attributed the drop in output to an unscheduled shutdown of its production facilities, triggered by a Russian military attack on regional infrastructure. During the forced downtime, the plant carried out extensive repairs and maintenance on production units and treatment facilities to enhance their operational reliability in the future.
