Russia's Evraz Q3 crude steel output down 1.5 pct Q/Q
MOSCOW, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Russia's largest steelmaker, Evraz (LSE: EVR.L - news) , said on Thursday its third-quarter crude steel output fell 1.5 percent, quarter-on-quarter, to 3.86 million tonnes because of maintenance work at its mill in Russia.
The company expects its production to increase in the fourth quarter, said Evraz, which is part-owned by Roman Abramovich, the billionaire owner of English soccer club Chelsea. (Reporting by Polina Devitt, Editing by Timothy Heritage)
