Answer:
1. Iron and Steel Industry:
Iron and steel is a basic industry and is the backbone of industrial development of any country.
2. Copper Smelting Industry:
It was in the year 1857 that the Singhbhum Copper Company was formed to undertake mining operations at Saraikela. In 1924, the Indian Copper Corporation (ICC) was set up with a concentration plant and smelter which produced copper at Ghatsila in Jharkhand (then in Bihar). In 1972, the ICC was taken over by the Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL), and now, the HCL is the sole producer of primary copper in India.
3. Aluminium Industry:
It was in the year 1938 that the country saw, for the first time, aluminium production at Alupuram Reduction Works of the Indian Aluminium Company. Later, this company was converted into a public sector company in 1944. By 1967, there were five smelters, one each at Jaykaynagar, Alupuram, Hirakud, Renukoot and Mettur.
4. Cement Industry:
Cement, an important infrastructure core industry, is one of the most advanced industries in the country. The country was deficient in cement and it had to resort to imports to fill the gaps in supplies until the complete decontrol of price and distribution on March 1, 1989, and introduction of other policy reforms; since then, the cement industry has made rapid strides.
