Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Explanation: The documents state that the Government of India is promoting and planning more mini steel plants, and one explicit reason given is that these units use electric furnaces (working largely on scrap or sponge iron) and therefore “do not cause pollution.” This non‑polluting characteristic is listed as a direct reason for government promotion, alongside other reasons such as low capital requirement and use of cheap scrap.
