Sponge Iron is one of the most important and the basic raw materials required for the production of various steel/iron based products like TMT bars, D.I Pipes etc. Sponge Iron is a part–substitute for steel scrap used for manufacturing steel by electrical arc furnaces and induction furnaces.  Steel melting scrap is primarily required for using as a feed material in all mini steel plant that use this scrap for melting in electric arc furnace/induction furnace to manufacture steel. Sponge Iron is also good suitable material for using as a coolant in LD converters of the Integrated Steel Plants.
