Jamsetji Tata was planning to establish a steel plant in India. His son; Dorabji Tata initially searched for potential location in Chhattisgarh. The Tatas could find iron and ore deposits in Chhattisgarh, but they could not find a good source of water. Water was important for running an iron and steel factory and hence they decided to look somewhere else.

Finally, the Tatas could find a large area of iron ore reserve on the banks of the river Subarnarekha. The Tata Iron and Steel Company was set up at that place and production in the factory began in 1912. This place was developed into a township which is now known as Jamshedpur.

This was an opportune time for TISCO because expansion of railways in India was taking place. Initially, the British experts in the Indian Railways were not convinced about the quality of steel produced in India. But the First World War changed the situation. Steel produced in Britain was being utilised to meet the demands of the war. As a result, the Indian Railways turned to TISCO for supply of rails. The TISCO also produced shells and carriage wheels for the war. By 1919, the colonial government was buying 90% of the steel manufactured by TISCO. Gradually, TISCO became the biggest steel industry within the British empire.
