The decline in the production of steel and rolled stock products in April 2015 compared to the same period last year is due to the continuation of the overhaul of blast furnace number 2 (the furnace was stopped for repairs in late February 2015). Funding for the overhaul was in the order of 200 million USD. The repair was carried out in February-April 2015 for 57 days.
