Sponge iron manufacturing sector will dominate Indian steel sector very soon. India is already the largest sponge iron producer in the world.
Government does not have correct estimate of number of sponge iron industries working in our country. Surprise!
Small scale manufacturers are many and government's control on them is a big question. If correct number of operating sponge iron making plants are not known, one can easily figure the status of regulatory control. Pollution from these factories are all time high.
Regulatory norms are inadequate. Monitoring and control is sub-standard. It is not enough being the largest sponge iron producer in the world, we should also see how polluting it is. Government need to seriously assess the way the industry is operating and push it to make sustainable. The cost we are ultimately paying is enormous and unacceptable.
