Solution
The first iron and steel plant in
India was set up in 1907 at Jamshedpur. At that time, it was a small village
named Sakchi; near the confluence of the rivers Subarnarekha and Kharkai in
modern day Jharkhand. This plant is called Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO).
- Sakchi was only 32 km away from Kalimati station on
the Bengal-Nagpur railway line.
- It was close to the deposits of iron ore, coal
and manganese.
- It was near Kolkata which provided a large
market.
- Presence of rivers ensured good supply of water
for the factory.
