The second named component at Chengdu, a 120,000-tonne-per-year alkali-free furnace-drawing line, was ignited on 20 September 2020. This follows the 130,000-tonne component ignited in July. They are recorded individually within the new-site programme; a shared city and annual report do not make them one furnace. The report's ignition milestone does not itself give a full-year utilisation figure.
A 130,000-tonne-per-year alkali-free furnace-drawing line at Chengdu was ignited on 23 July 2020. The annual account also identifies a separate 120,000-tonne line ignited later in the year. These capacities correspond to separate components of the relocated base's 250,000-tonne programme. The dates and product chemistry help distinguish them from older Chengdu projects and from one another.
The Indian project continued design optimisation. Management said construction would begin at an appropriate time after overseas pandemic risks became controllable. This is a conditional plan, updating the pre-construction preparation in 2019. No construction-start or production milestone is assigned, and no precise future commissioning date is inferred.
The Tongxiang intelligent base's second roving phase, a 150,000-tonne-per-year alkali-free tank-furnace line, was ignited on 9 June 2020. It is stored separately from phase I commissioned in 2018, despite equal stated capacity and the same base. The disclosed milestone is ignition; the passage does not provide the line's full-year realised output or require that its design capacity be treated as production for all twelve months.
