Background

The Sabzevar Steel Complex in Razavi Khorasan province was constructed as part of a government-led effort to build Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plants in seven different provinces.[1] The plant opened in 2018 with a production capacity of 800,000 tonnes of DRI per year.[2] Plans have also been announced to add Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) and additional DRI units, though as of 2026 there has been little movement.[3]
