Inner Mongolia: All Cement Kiln Lines to Undergo Five-Month Staggered Production Starting November

36Kr reports that the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region's Department of Industry and Information Technology has issued a notice on improving routine staggered production for cement in 2026-2027. The notice states that all cement clinker production lines in the region must undergo staggered production. Staggered production will be implemented from 0:00 on November 1, 2026, to 24:00 on March 31, 2027, for a total of five months. Each cycle of kiln shutdown runs from zero hours at the start date to 24 hours at the end date (including kiln drying time). In line with the requirement to 'promote routine regional and temporal staggered production of cement nationwide,' staggered production during the heating season is mandatory; all cement clinker production lines must strictly comply and may not make their own adjustments.
