Myingyan Myanmar steel plant, also known as Myingyan No. 1 Steel mill, is a steel plant in Sar Khar, Myingyan, Mandalay, Myanmar that operates electric arc furnace (EAF) and direct reduced iron (DRI) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Sar Khar, Myingyan, Mandalay, Myanmar:
- Location: Sar Khar village, Myingyan Township, Mandalay Region, Myanmar
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 21.377652, 95.372079 (exact)
Background
The Myingyan No. 1 Steel mill was implemented in 2004. In 2016, the Melt Shop-2 started to produce 2,000 tons of steel plates.[1] The plant was suspended on 15 March, 2017 due to increasing losses.[1][2]
On 10 July 2020, it was reported that Myanmar’s Ministry of Planning, Finance and Industry, shortlisted five firms to restart the steel mill. The steel plant is expected to have an annual capacity of 1.8 million tons.[2][3] In late March 2023, the plant's Melt Shop 1—a facility where iron and scrap metal is melted and cast into steel—was declared partially operational after being shuttered in 2017.[4] According to the 2022 OECD Steelmaking capacity, the plant is planning to set up an electric furnace of capacity 200 ttpa.[5]
