What the source says

At the global level, steel excess capacity increased to 640 million tonnes (Mt) in 2025: it is now exceeding the total OECD steel production by more than 200 Mt, and it is projected to continue rising steadily, reaching 745 Mt by 2028.

Checked: the figure 745 million million tonnesis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
