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

The Durgapur Steel Plant was established in West Bengal during the Second Five-Year Plan (1956–1961) with technical and financial assistance from the United Kingdom (British collaboration) [2][t1][t4]. Specifically, it was set up with the help of a consortium of British companies and production commenced in 1962 [2][t5]. In contrast, other major public sector plants had different international partners: the Bhilai Steel Plant in Chhattisgarh and the Bokaro Steel Plant in Jharkhand were established with Soviet (USSR) collaboration [c4][t1][t4]. The Rourkela Steel Plant in Odisha was the first integrated public sector plant, developed with West German collaboration involving firms like Krupps and Demag [t2][t5]. These collaborations were central to India's industrial strategy to build a robust heavy industry base through public sector enterprises during the early post-independence era.
