A total of six to seven leading steel producers will be encouraged to implement strategic mergers and restructuring across the country, according to the Guideline to Promote Steel Sector Mergers and Restructuring.

The guideline was made to tackle domestic steel sector's structural problems like low industry concentration and high percentage of backward production capacity, the statement said.

The ministry also mapped out Steel Sector Admittance Requirements. It intends to regulate steel enterprises through enforcing standards on product quality, environmental protection, energy consumption, comprehensive utilization of resources and production scale.

The ministry will publicize a list of enterprises that meets these standards.
