Solution
Tata Iron and Steel Company (now Tata Steel) was established by Dorabji Tata on August 26, 1904 as a part of his father Jamshedji Tata’s group. The plant, which started production in 1912, located at Jamshedpur.
Explanation:
The Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO, now Tata Steel) set up its works at Sakchi (now Jamshedpur) and steel production began in 1912. The site was chosen because of nearby supplies of high‑grade iron ore, coal and other raw materials, good water supply from the Subarnarekha and Kharkai rivers and good transport/market access (including proximity to Kolkata), all of which made Jamshedpur the ideal location.
