Lying along the Damodar River, just west of one of India's largest iron
and steel plants, along the Dhanbad Ranchi highway is India’s biggest
steel complex. The Plant was conceived as the country’s first Swadeshi
Steel Plant to be built with maximum indigenisation going into the
equipments, materials and know-how. Thus, this project has been a
radical shift from the earlier dependence on foreign sources for
know-how and consultancy, design and equipment, supervision, erection,
etc. to almost a full measure of self-reliance and confidence.
