In crude steel equivalent, demand had already reached 1.3 million tonnes in 1968, and it is estimated that the corresponding demand for rolled products will exceed local production by almost one million tonnes by 1971. At this level integrated iron and steel production would be feasible on an economic scale. Since such as industry takes about 5 years to construc and planning requires additional time, detailed planning, which should be conducted by specialized consulting engineers, could now be undertaken.สาระสังเขป: The establishment of a large integrated iron and steel industry on an economic basis would create external economics for manufacturing as well as being a substantial investment in itself; with the Government's investment incentives, it should offer an attractive investment opportunity both for local and foreign entrepreneurs. Fairly near-term prospects for an economic interated iron and steel plant have considerable bearing on the current establishment of re-rolling and finishing mills. To minimize transition costs and prevent obstacles to the establishment of an internationally competitive, large-scale plant from highly protected, uneconomically small plants representing a multiplicity of ownership and scattered over a number of sites, promotion, plant licensing, and tariff policies should take long-term iron and steel production possibilities into consideration. - Authors.สาระสังเขป: The second stage of the construction would include the installation of a blast furnace, coke oven plant, LD converters, and auxiliary equipment, with a total production capacity of about one million ingot tonnes per year. Considerable potential for expansion will exist, including the possibility of doubling this capacity by 1980.สาระสังเขป: The timing of the operation largely depends on when a deep seaport will be available within reasonable distance of Bangkok, where the principal market for iron and steel lies, because both iron pellets and coking coal would have to be imported by bulk sea carriers to make raw material cost economic.สาระสังเขป: To ensure that there will be a minimum delay in return for the investment and to bridge the gap between demand and local supply, it is suggested that the first stage of the project should be the construction of rolling mills using imported billets. The new mills, which should be completely as part of the integrated plan, should be designed to produce initially about 500,000-600,000 tonnes of crude steel equivalent per year of flat rolled products and about 400,000 tonnes of bars and shapes for local consumption.
