1. The question asks which major iron and steel plant in India does not have a local supply of coal. 2. TISCO (Tata Iron and Steel Company) at Jamshedpur is located in Jharkhand, close to the Jharia coalfields, providing a good local supply of coal (especially coking coal). 3. VSL (Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel Plant) at Bhadravati, Karnataka, is located far from major coalfields. It initially relied on charcoal and later had to transport coal over long distances. It benefits from local iron ore and limestone but lacks local coal. 4. HSL (Hindustan Steel Limited), Durgapur (West Bengal) is situated in the Damodar Valley region, near the Raniganj coalfields, ensuring local coal supply. 5. HSL (Hindustan Steel Limited), Bhilai (Chhattisgarh) receives coal from nearby Korba coalfields and coking coal from Jharia/Bokaro coalfields.
