Question

From where does the iron and steel plant obtain manganese and limestone?

Answer 1

Mainly iron and steel plants get manganese, limestone and other minerals from nearby available mines.

For example:

1) Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO)

- It is located at Tatanagar near Jamshedpur in Jharkhand.

- So it gets :

Coal from Jharia

Limestone and dolomite from

Gangpur (Orissa) and

Singhbhum (Jharkhand).

Manganese from Naomundi

(Orissa).

Hope this helps..
