Solution
An integrated steel plant is one in which all the processes, from providing raw materials, basic fuels, water supply, etc., to the conversion to steel, rolling, etc., are all done in one place. On the contrary, the mini steel plants have electric furnaces, do not have all the facilities in one place, and require separate units for completing the process of steel manufacturing.
