Carpets of lush green roll out onto well-laid-out perpendicular roads in this planned urban city of Jharkhand. Located on a plateau, Jamshedpur is surrounded by hills and is bordered by two rivers, giving it a far more picturesque setting than many belief. Founded by Jamshetji Tata, it is India’s first industrially planned city and is perhaps one of the country’s most important ones. With a number of major factory plants here, the city sees an inflow of immigrants from all over the country. It is also known to be one of the fastest-growing cities in India, and definitely one of its cleanest.
Jamshedpur is a big city with people of small-town hearts. It’s also known as Steel City, Tatanagar, or simply as Tata. The warm, hospitable folks here will go out of their way to make sure that you are well-fed, and well cared for and get a glimpse of every corner of the city before you leave. Take a tour of all the factories, especially the abundant steel and cement plants, located in the city, as these not only give you a peek into the country’s economy but also tell stories of the past.
