Question

When and why iron imported from Britian​

Answer 1

Answer:

By the late nineteenth century iron and steel was being imported from Britain. Iron smiths in India began using the imported iron to manufacturing utensils and implements. This inevitably lowered the demand for iron produced by local smelters.

Answer 2

Iron was one of the most basic requirements of the rapidly industrializing British economy, and the country certainly had plenty of raw materials. However, in 1700, the iron industry was not efficient and most iron was imported into Britain. By 1800, after technical developments, the iron industry was a net exporter.
