Question

According to you why iron and steel industry are mostly placed in Odisha and it's adjacent state

Answer 1

A century-and-a-half after the Great American Gold Rush, a similar deluge is taking place on the eastern coast of India. All roads and flights are bringing in dozens of investors into the sleepy state of Orissa. The purpose is the same but the metal is different -- steel.

In the last one year, about 40 proposals poured in for setting up steel plants in the state. They include a projected 44-million tonne capacity build-up, at a massive investment of around Rs 108,000 crore (Rs 1,080 billion). Seen against the country's current 34 million tonne steel making capacity, the figures are mind-boggling.
