Factor that affect location the of iron and steel industries away from raw material:

  • Access to better infrastructure: The present location of iron and steel industries is close to ports, roads, and railways, which makes transportation of finished products more convenient. E.g. The Vizag steel Plant, in Andhra Pradesh, is the first port – based plant.
  • Skilled labor: The shift in location is also due to the availability of skilled labor in the new areas, which has become an essential factor in the success of the industry. E.g. Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) in Rourkela.
  • Market Based Location: it is generally found in countries where coal and iron ore deposits are rare. E.g. Japan is deficient in almost all raw materials that are to be imported from other countries.
  • Government policies: Governments often provide incentives to industries that set up in certain areas, such as tax exemptions and subsidies, which can influence their location decisions. E.g. Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) in Jamshedpur.
