Solution
TISCO was established in the year 1907 at Sakchi, near the convergence of the rivers - Subarnarekha and Kharkai in Jharkhand. Sakchi was chosen to set up the steel plant for several reasons.
It is situated only 32 km away from Kalimati station on the Bengal-Nagpur railway line.
It was near the iron ore, coal and manganese deposits as well as to Kolkata, for a large market.
TISCO receives coal from Jharia coalfields, and iron ore, limestone, dolomite and manganese from Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
The Kharkai and Subarnarekha rivers ensures enough water supply.
Government initiatives provided sufficient capital for its later expansion
