Which one of the following iron and steel plants was established with the British collaboration?

The Durgapur Steel Plant, located in West Bengal, was established in the late 1950s with the technical and financial collaboration of a consortium of British companies [c2][t1][t4]. It was one of the three integrated steel plants set up during India's Second Five-Year Plan (1956–1961) to boost industrialization [c4]. In contrast, the Bhilai Steel Plant in Chhattisgarh and the Bokaro Steel Plant in Jharkhand were established with the assistance of the Soviet Union (USSR) [c3][t1][t3]. The Rourkela Steel Plant in Odisha was developed with West German collaboration, specifically involving firms like Krupps and Demag [t1][t7]. Durgapur's location was strategically chosen due to its proximity to the Damodar River for water and the Raniganj coalfields [c2][t7]. Today, these plants are managed by the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) [t2].
