During last one year so many steel companies put their baskets in a queue , mostly are looking for EPC and a few are looking for Joint ventures or investment , however Iran's Steel Industry has learned many lessons in Sanction period, the lessons that helped it to mature and get more self depended even get localized in some sectors. Steel companies that are looking for entering into Iran's Market have to keep in mind that Iranian Steel Market is not like 10 years ago that they could easily have plenty of projects in EPC form but they have to think about the local competitors that have changed the game and also need to consider technology transfer and investment as part of their package to be welcomed again.
