Most of Indian Steel plants are located in Chota Nagpur Plateau because Chota Nagpur Plateau is rich in varius minerals.
coal is also found in abundance and we know that coal is the basic raw material for iron steel plant.
Iron-ore is found in abundance and it occurs with coal in close proximity which favours the installment of iron and steel industry in this region.
Other supplement minerals e.g. manganese, bauxite and limestone are found in this part of the plateau in abundance.
Water, which is required, is provided by Damodar river and its tributaries, which is a perrineal source of water.
Cheap and sturdy labour from the tribes of Chotanagpur and from neighboring mining areas is available.
This area possesses a fine network of railways and roadways which help in easy transportation of the raw materials and finished products.
The area is near the port which helps in import of machinery and export of manufactured steel. Steel is locally consumed by Ranchi factory, etc.
