In the late nineteenth century, India was importing steel that was manufactured in Britain.
Expansion of the railways in India had provided a huge market for rails that Britain produced. British experts in the Indian Railways were unwilling to believe that good quality steel could be produced in India.
In 1914 the First World War broke out. Steel produced in Britain now had to meet the demands of war in Europe.
Imports of British steel into India declined dramatically and the Indian Railways turned to TISCO for supply of rails.
As the war dragged on for several years, TISCO had to produce shells and carriage wheels for the war.
By 1919 the colonial government was buying 90 per cent of the steel manufactured by TISCO. It became the biggest steel industry within the British Empire.
