Freedom from dependence on coking coal.
 Availability of non-coking coal and natural gas.
 Short supply and high price of scrap.
 Shorter gestation period and lower capital cost of DRI units as compared to Blast Furnace.
 Eco Friendly
 Advantage of using waste gas for generation of power
 Economical integration with downstream facilities for steel making, continuous casting and
rolling of finished products.
 Affordable investment requirement for such mini steel plants, with forward integration of
EIF and Rolling Mill.
 Increasing demand for construction steel can be profitably produced from such mini steel
plants.
