A heavy industrial city in the southeastern part of Jharkhand state in northeastern India. It is located about 250 km west of Kolkata (Calcutta), on the southeastern edge of the Chotanagpur plateau.

In addition to steel, the city is also active in the manufacture of vehicles, machinery, and agricultural equipment. It is a representative industrial city in India, with modern factory facilities and urban areas based on urban planning. It is also called Tatanagar. Population: 570,349 (2001).
