The correct option is D Kulti
IISCO Steel Plant of Steel Authority of India Limited,
located at Burnpur in Asansol, is an integrated steel plant with an installed
capacity of producing 2.5 million tonnes of liquid steel. The turbulent history
of the plant, starting from its pioneering days, has found it a place in
industrial history.
It was the second integrated steel plant, after Tata Iron
and Steel Co. Ltd. (TISCO) at Jamshedpur, to come up in India and for many
years, these two were the only steel plants in the country. It has rich history
that goes back to 1870, the days when James Erskine pioneered the production of
iron in the country, nearby Kulti. Modern metallurgy was introduced to India at
Kulti with the setting up of the first blast furnace using coal instead of
charcoal.
