GEO TV reported that Pakistan Steel Mill is facing shortage of lump iron ores due to which blast furnaces are being shut down for 20 alternate hours.
PSM sources said that they have 10,000 tonnes fine and 23,000 tonnes lump iron ores in stock, however 75% fine and 25% lump iron ores are used in blast furnaces.
Since proper blending is not available, both blast furnaces have to be shut down for 20 alternate hours reducing the plant output to less than 40%.
