Jamshedpur is the first well-planned industrial city of India in Jharkhand State, founded by the late Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata and the 32nd urban aggloramation in India. Jamshedpur is surrounded by the beautiful Dalma Hills. The riversSubarnarekha and Kharkai border the North and West of the city respectively. 

Jamshedpur, as home to the first private Iron and Steel company of India(sixth largest in the world), Tata Steel, is commonly called "Tata Nagar" as a result of the company's significant presence. The areas surrounding Jamshedpur are rich in minerals, including iron ore, coal,manganese bauxite and lime.

Jamshedpur is the city with one of the highest per capita income in the country. The bigger corporate houses like Tata Steel and Tata Motors and a thousand other companies and even more small scale industries facilitate the fact.

Life in the city is comfortable, with all areas having 24 hours running drinking water and electricity (something uncommon in most of urban India).The quality of roads separate the city with the others. All these facilities are maintained by Jamshedpur Utilities and Services Company Limited (JUSCO), a 100% owned subsidiary of Tata Steel.
