The government is aware that the Iron and Steel Industry is the engine of growth and development in an economy. Mineral ores constitute the basic raw material for building such core industries in a country, The raw materials required for starting an iron and steel industry are iron ore, coal, fluxing materials (such as limestone, dolomite, fluorspar etc.) water and electricity. The manufacture, to put it simply, starts by freeing the metallic iron from the ore, using coal and its derivative coke as the primary source of energy and limestone, dolomite etc. as a source of flux to remove or slag off the impurities in the ore and coke.
