Answers
Tata Iron and Steel Industry in Jamshedpur:
Before 1947, there was only one iron and steel plant in the country – Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited (TISCO).
It was privately owned.
TISCO was started in 1907 by Jamshedji N. Tata at Sakchi in the Singhbhum district of Jharkhand, but the production started in 1910. Later on Sakchi was renamed as Jamshedpur.
Sakchi was chosen to set up the steel plant because of the following reasons: -
1. This place was only 32 km away from Kalimati station on the Bengal-Nagpur railway line.
2. It was close to the iron ore, coal and manganese deposits as well as to Kolkata, which provided a large market.
3. TISCO gets coal from Jharia coalfields, and iron ore, limestone, dolomite and manganese from Orissa and Chhattisgarh.
4. The Kharkai and Subarnarekha rivers ensured sufficient water supply.
5. Government initiatives provided adequate capital for its later development. This lead to rapid industrial growth in India.
