I have a Unix script which uses the command
Current_Dir=`pwd` What would be the suitable replacement for it in Windows Power shell script?

Both of these are valid if you are trying to make a var with your current dir:
$current_directory = (pwd).path $current_directory = pwd The development team for Powershell contains a couple of Unix guys, so there are some goodies in there like ls, pwd and cat

Beware: pwd returns the literal text the user typed to change directories, not the actual directory name. That is, if there is a directory named "Test" and I type "cd test", pwd will return "test" NOT "Test"
Use the $pwd.Path expression
write-host $pwd.Path

Just use "pwd", or "Get-Location" ("pwd" is just an alias for "Get-Location").
ALso: you don't need the quotes in PS, like you do in a Unix shell.

Powershell has many of the same commands as Linux. pwd is the command equivalent. When you type pwd in Powershell, it is an alias to Get-Location.
