The North Eastern Part Of Peninsular Region Have Maximum Concentration Of Iron And Steel Industries:

• There are rich reserves that are mainly of hematite variety available in these regions. Good quality of iron ore is available at low cost. This provides an ideal location for setting up iron and steel industries.

• The cooking available is of very high grade found in the coalfields of Jharkhand and West Bengal.

• Very high quality limestone and manganese is available in proximity.

• The areas which are surrounding these regions are densely populated region supplies cheap labor.

• The potential vast growth home market is one more advantage.Local market for  the goods which have been finished are provided by other industries using steel as raw material. A good linkage of  roads and railways helps a lot in the distribution of finished products all over the country.

Answer 2

Answer:

s: The north-eastern part of the Peninsular plateau, the Chota Nagpur plateau region, has the

maximum concentration of iron and steel industries because of the following reasons.

(a) The region has rich reserves of iron ore of mainly haematite variety. Availability of good

quality of iron ore at low cost, provides ideal location for setting up of iron and steel industries.

(b) High grade coking coal is available from the coalfields of Jharkhand and West Bengal.(c) High quality manganese and limestone is available in proximity.

(d) The surrounding densely populated region supply cheap labour.

(e) The vast growth potential in the home market is an additional advantage. Local market for

the finished goods are provided by other industries using steel as raw material. Good linkage of

roads and railways helps in the distribution of finished products all over the country.

As iron and steel is a heavy industry, availability of raw materials like iron ore, coking coal and

limestone, all of which are bulky, as well as market within easy reach has provided the region

ideal location for setting up of iron and steel industries.
