Abstract
Steel has been known in India since hoary antiquity and it is referred to in the Vedas as Ayas (Heath 1839). It has been deduced from archeological evidence that ancient Indians knew the art of making steel. In this article this old history as well as the recent history of iron and steelmaking is briefly reviewed, the challenges posed for the iron and steel industry are explored and finally prospects for iron and steelmaking in India are evaluated.
