Steelmakers in North China's Hebei Province have built new plants in contravention of State measures aimed at tackling overcapacity and kept mills running that should have been closed, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said Tuesday.
The ministry said Hebei had made some progress in curbing smog and improving water quality, but it was still not putting enough pressure on local governments to meet environmental standards and shut down polluting industries.
In a notice posted on its website, the ministry singled out companies in the major steelmaking city of Tangshan for illegally expanding ferroalloy production capacity.
It said "fraudulent practices" continued and new power plants were also being approved despite Hebei's plans to cut coal consumption.
