 Steel Industry 
 The large integrated steel industry is traditionally located close to the 
sources of raw materials  iron-ore, coal, manganese and limestone  or 
at places where these could be easily brought, e.g., near ports. But in 
mini steel mills, access to markets is more important than inputs. These 
are less expensive to build and operate and can be located near markets 
because of the abundance of scrap metal, which is the main input. 
Traditionally, most of the steel was produced at large integrated plants, 
but mini mills are limited to just one-step process  steel making  and 
are gaining ground.  
(4.1) Mention the main factor affecting location of large integrated steel 
industry.  1
