Considering the growth of iron and steel industry in the world, existence of iron ore rich resources, abundance of inputs required by the steel industries and higher demands for steel in Afghanistan, the idea of analyzing the strategy of iron and steel industries for codifying and defining of a development strategy in field of respective industries has been created in Afghanistan. Due to, the first strategy of iron and steel industries in the world and in selected countries (China, Iran, India and Pakistan) has been analyzed and evaluated. With the help of library studies, bylaw appraisal and interviews with experts, the effective internal and environmental factors for establishment of iron and steel industries in Afghanistan has been analyzed and determined. Based on the weaknesses and threats of selected countries regarding steel and iron industries and the current internal and environmental factors in Afghanistan, eight bold categories of strategy in respective of development projects in Afghanistan has been defined and codified by using SWOT technique. The Ranking of strategies have been done by using Shannon entropy and Promethee methods. As the result ST2 Strategy placed on first and SO2 Strategy placed on last position. KEYWORDS: Strategic Analysis, SWOT, Shannon entropy method and Promethee method.

<div><p><em>Steel is one of the most important pillars to the Infrastructural development of any nation. The rate of production and consumption of steel is treated as an important index of the level of socioeconomic development and standard of living of the people in any country. India stands at the 3rd position as a producer of crude steel in the world and this Industry is an important Foreign exchange Contributor to the economy. Since Iron  and  steel  products  are  Imported and Exported  liberally  as  per  the existing   policy and therefore it becomes necessary  to  analyse and evaluate the export potentials and competitiveness of the Indian Iron and steel industry in relation to the steel exports of the world as a whole. This study analyses the competitiveness and the pattern of trade flows/trade specialisation from India to world, particularly for Iron and Steel industry. Our research is mainly based on the measures of Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) measures or Balassa Index.</em></p></div>

The Nigerian iron and steel industry established as a basis for industrialization has remained unproductive even as the year 2020 targeted for the country to become one of the world's top 20 economies is barely a few months away. Despite, the boom in the oil sector, the value-added sector is low while the inter-sectoral linkages are weak. This implies a boom in one activity rarely affects another in the sector, but will rather impact on the foreign economy from where imports were sourced. Nigeria relies mainly on crude oil to the neglect of the iron and steel sector which is a major determinant for the industrialization of any nation. Lack of industrialization and unemployment in Nigeria today which engenders insecurity could be linked to the comatose state of the Nigerian iron and steel industry. Thus, this paper discussed the iron and steel sector as a strategic sector for rapid development and nerve center for industrialization in Nigeria.

The low-carbon development of China’s iron and steel industry (ISI) is important but challenging work for the attainment of China’s carbon neutrality by 2060. However, most previous studies related to the low-carbon development of China’s ISI are fragmented from different views such as production-side mitigation, demand-side mitigation, or mitigation technologies. Additionally, there is still a lack of a comprehensive overview of the long-term pathway to the low-carbon development of China’s ISI. To respond to this gap and to contribute to better guide policymaking in China, this paper conducted a timely and comprehensive review following the technology roadmap framework covering the status quo, future vision, and key actions of the low-carbon development of the world and China’s ISI. First, this paper provides an overview of the technology roadmap of low-carbon development around the main steel production countries in the world. Second, the potential for key decarbonization actions available for China’s ISI are evaluated in detail. Third, policy and research recommendations are put forward for the future low-carbon development of China’s ISI. Through this comprehensive review, four key actions can be applied to the low-carbon development of China’s ISI: improving energy efficiency, shifting to Scrap/EAF route, promoting material efficiency strategy, and deploying radical innovation technologies.

The preservation of coking coal and the reduction of coke cost are gaining much importance in iron and steel industry. An effort is being made worldwide to maximize the use of inferior quality of coking coal in cokemaking without sacrificing the coke quality to minimize the coke cost. In general, Indian coking coals contain lower content of vitrinite (≤ 50%) and higher content of ash (≥ 15%) as compared to imported coking coal. Indian coking coals have poor washability characteristics also. Therefore, for making coal blend for coke making, selection of an appropriate proportion of Indian coking coals with imported coking coals is a major challenge for Indian steel industries. Proper selection of Indian coal not only reduces the coking coal import but also minimizes the coal blend cost with added benefits of the increase in the captive mine life. This paper touches the opportunities and challenges for efficient utilization of Indian coking coal as a component in the coal blend to produce the desired quality of coke.
