I would recommend developing iron and steel industry in my state because of the following reasons:
- My state has adequate deposits of iron ore, coal, dolomite, limestone and manganese. This will cut down importing costs.
- The area is well connected by roads and railways. Thus transportation will be hassle free.
- Labour at reasonable wages can be employed from nearby areas.
- Availability of a nearby port will facilitate export of finished products.
