Question

In which city was India's first steel project established?

Hint:

This city in present day Jharkhand was named after the founder of India's first steel company.

Answer 1

Correct answer: Jamshedpur
India's first steel plant was set up by Jamsetji Tata's company, which later became Tata Iron and Steel Company, known as TISCO.
The plant started production in the year 1912.
It was built in a place then called Sakchi, in the state of Bihar, which is now part of Jharkhand.
The town grew around the steel plant and was later renamed Jamshedpur in honor of Jamsetji Tata, the founder.
Jamshedpur became India's first planned industrial city and is still one of the largest steel producing centers in the country.
This project marked the beginning of modern steel manufacturing by an Indian company, without depending on British owned firms.
