The map below shows the approximate location of the steel plant in Fars, in Iran.
Background
The Fasa Steel Complex Company was announced in the late 2000s. It was originally going to be built in three phases: the first phase would consist of an electric arc furnace (EAF) plant of 1500 tonnes and an iron-making plant (DRI module) of 1700 tonnes; the second phase would have had similar capacities, and the third phase was never detailed.[1] The project budget for the first phase was around $727 million was expected to be completed in two years.[1]
Construction began in 2010.[2] However, there has been no public update on the project since 2011, so the project has been considered mothballed.
