Iranian steelmakers managed to produce 42 MnT of steel (including semis) during the 11 months of current Iranian year (beginning 21 Mar’18-19 Feb’19). The production of steel witnessed a growth 10% on Y-o-Y basis.

It is to be noted that currently the nation is facing economic sanctions from US, owing to which export of steel has declined. As per many industry analysts, overproduction might result to oversupply of steel in domestic market.
