Background

The Shadegan Steel Complex was announced in 2006 as part of a national plan to strengthen the Iranian steel industry. It was the first plant to use domestic PERED (Persian Reduction) technology in its Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) unit.[1] In February 2024, steel production was also inaugurated at the plant with an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF).[2]
