Abstract	Jamshedpur's growth has been built in part on a resource that makes Tata Steel's metal the cheapest to produce in the world: Arriving by rail, coal and other raw materials are sourced from Tata Steel's own mines and collieries, which lie 100 miles to the north. It also sends much of its steel to a plant just miles away operated by its sister company, Tata Motors. The largest automaker in India, Tata Motors has sold more than 9 million vehicles. Both on and off the plant floor, this city — triangulated by the converging Subarnarekha and Kharkai rivers — shows what Pittsburgh might look like today if the U.S. steel industry had never collapsed. Closely intertwined with India's accelerating prosperity, it's emblematic of the challenges the country faces in undertaking global environmental goals.
