The modern iron and steel industry in India owes its origin to the grand vision and perseverance of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata. The Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited (Tata Steel) was registered in Bombay on 26th August, 1907. The construction of the steel plant was then taken up in earnest with the first stake being driven in February 1908. The credit of steel manufacturing on large scale goes to Jamshed Ji Tata, who set up Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) at Sakchi (Jamshedpur- Jharkhand). This plant produced iron in 1911 and steel in 1913. In 1919, Indian Iron and Steel Company established a steel plant, at Burnpur (Hira Pur-Kolkata).
