Complete answer:
Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited (TISCO), now known as Tata Steel Limited is located in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. It has its headquarter in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India and its marketing headquarters at the Tata Centre in Kolkata, West Bengal. Tata Steel Limited is an Indian multinational steel-making company and a part of the Tata Group Companies.

The company was founded by Mr Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata and established by Dorabji Tata in the year 1907. In the year 1911 TISCO started pig iron production and began producing steel in 1912.
Prior to TISCO, the steel was imported in India from Britain. But the situation of this industry changed by the time TISCO was established. When the First World War broke out in 1914, the steel produced in Britain had to meet the demands of the war in Europe. As the war continued for several years, TISCO had to produce shells and carriage wheels for the world war. Thus, it became the largest steel industry within the British Empire.
