TATA ENGINEERING AND LOCOMOTIVE CO. Ltd. , JAMSHEDPUR

History

The peninsular Locomotive Co. Ltd., was formed in 1921. The plan of manufacturing 200 locomotives, being the minimum requirements of the Indian Railways, could not materialize and the Company had to shut down in 1925. The Government of India then took it over for the construction of carriage under frames and wagons. It started functioning again in 1928 and closed down in 1934 due to lack of orders. With the war emergency, the Defense Department of the Government of India resuscitated this workshop in 1940 for the manufacture of armored vehicles. On the termination of the hostilities in 1945, the workshop had outlived its usefulness and when the Defense Department announced their intention of giving it up, the Government of India entered into an agreement with Messrs. Tata and Sons, Ltd., for the latter to take over the workshops for the manufacture of locomotive, Automobile and Foundry.

Telco for short-was incorporated in 1945 when the east Indian Railway Workshops at Tatanagar were taken over by the Comapny. The old workshop was completely pulled down and a new one was built up on the site. The workshop has three divisions e.g. Locomotive, Automobile and Foundry.

There are about 6892 workers in the factory. To provide them with house a new township has been built with modern designs and planning. The houses have been built with hollow concrete blocks for which a special plant has been put to treat the sewage of the works and the township. Water-supply has been arranged with Tisco. Raw water is taken from them and filtered by a filter plant set up by the Company.

INDIAN STEEL AND WIRE PRODUCTS

The Original concern was formed some time during the period immediately following the last World War (1914-18) along with so many other industrial concerns, which came into existence as a result of war property and the necessity of having key industries established. But the concern did not survive the heavy slump that followed due to foreign competition and it was ultimately brought under liquidation. It was then purchased by sardar(sir) Indra Singh in the year 1927. The total capacity of the mills at the time of purchase was less than about 1500 tons wire and wire products a year. The capacity of the plant was increased to near about 12000 tons of wire and wire products and Government protection was granted in 1931. It took near about three years. i.e. from 1932 up to the beginning of 1935, before the mill could be established to commence operations. The capacity of the plant was raised to nearly 40000 to 45000 tons of rods per year. This meant increased output of other subsidiary products of wire and wire nails. The concern had grown sufficiently by then and was made into a limited liability company on 1st April 1935 with the founders as the Managing Agents.
