Kohzad  stated: Every year the slogan of support for production is presented and we expect it to be realized, but what happens in practice is the losses of manufacturing companies, including steel companies, which unfortunately causes production with fundamental crises.

The founders of Iran’s steel industry have established the steel industry based to the natural gas and iron ore reserves, so the indiscriminate increase in gas prices deprives the steelmakers of the benefits , and this destroys the economic feasibility production and competitive advantage of the country’s steel.
