[edit] Was India's first steel plant built in Bhadravathi?
As mentioned in this stub, this information (India's first steel plant built in Bhadravathi) seems erroneous and hence should be removed. The supporting texts are given below:
forty tonnes a week. His method of ironmaking needed approximately four tonnes of charcoal to produce one tonne of low sick as the source of funds dried up. It was taken over by the Bengal Government and was rechristened as Barakar Iron Works. In 1889 the Bengal Iron and Steel Company acquired the plant and by the turn of the century the Kulti plant became a success story. It produced 40,000 tonnes of pig iron in 1900 and continued to produce the metal until it was taken over by Indian Iron and Steel Company (IISCO) in 1936.
For modern India’s iron and steel industry August 27, 1907 was a red-letter day when the Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) was formed as a Swadeshi venture to produce 120,000 tonnes of pig iron. The TISCO plant at Sakchi (renamed Jamshedpur) in Bihar, started pig iron. production in December 1908 and rolled out its first steel the following year.
