The article is mainly associated with the Jamshedpur operations of the company/industry and may not provide info about its all India operations. == Tata Steel == The largest industry/factory in Jamshedpur is that of Tata Steel (the erstwhile Tata Iron and Steel Company or TISCO). Tata Steel is the largest iron and steel producing plant in India, as well as the oldest. It was also the first private steel company of India. It is situated almost at the center of the city and occupies approximately 1/5 of the entire city area. It acts as a pivotal center for the industries of the city of Jamshedpur with a large number of them having direct or indirect linkages with it. It was established by an Indian Parsi businessman Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata in 1907 (he died in 1904, before the project was completed). Tata Steel was the first company to introduce an 8-hour work day as early as in 1912 when only a 12-hour work day was the legal requirement in Britain. It introduced leave-with-pay in 1920, a practice that became legally binding upon employers in India only in 1945. Similarly, Tata Steel started a Provident Fund for its employees as early as in 1920, which became a law for all employers under the Provident Fund Act only in 1952. Tata Steel's furnaces have never been disrupted on account of a labour strike and this is an enviable record. The plant in Jamshedpur is considered to be one of the best not only in India but the entire world. It has won numerous awards for that like World’s Best Steel Maker for three times by World Steel Dynamics,〔http://www.tatasteel.com/UserNewsRoom/usershowcontent.aspx?id=30&type=Awards&REFERER=http://www.tatasteel.com/media/awards-and-recognitions.asp〕 Prime Minister's Trophy for Best Integrated Steel Plant for a record five times,〔http://www.tatasteel.com/UserNewsRoom/usershowcontent.aspx?id=28&type=Awards&REFERER=http://www.tatasteel.com/media/awards-and-recognitions.asp〕 world-renowned Deming Prize for major advances in quality improvement any many more.
