The development of ancient Indian wootz steel is reviewed. Wootz is the anglicized version of ukku in the languages of the states of Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, a term denoting steel. Literary accounts suggest that the steel from the southern part of the Indian subcontinent was exported to Europe, China, the Arab world and the Middle East.

Answer:
Franchis buchanan in 1807 observed the manufacture of steel in south India by a crucible process at several locales including Mysore, Malabar and Golconda.
By the late 1600's shipments running into tens of thousands of wootz ingots were traded from the coromendal coast to Persia.
This indicates that the production of Wootz steel was almost on an industrial scale in what was still an activity predating the Industrial revolution in Europe.
