In: ITPI journalSummary: The steel Industry was given top priority in the first five-year plan besides agriculture because that was the need for the hour. The Bhilai steel plant came into being during the second plan in 1955 and was directly under the control of the Ministry of Iron and Steel plants. Under a unified company management Durgapur and Bhilai were transferred to Hindustan Steel Limited (HSL) in April 1957 and Bhilai steel plant was set up. However, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) was formed on 24th January 1973 and the final merger took place in 1978.

The steel Industry was given top priority in the first five-year plan besides agriculture
because that was the need for the hour. The Bhilai steel plant came into being during the
second plan in 1955 and was directly under the control of the Ministry of Iron and Steel
plants. Under a unified company management Durgapur and Bhilai were transferred to
Hindustan Steel Limited (HSL) in April 1957 and Bhilai steel plant was set up. However,
Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) was formed on 24th January 1973 and the final
merger took place in 1978.
After the formation of SAIL steel plants at Bhilai, Rourkela and Bokaro were made
separate entities with integrated steel plants. Bhilai city was completely dependent
for its economic sustenance on Bhillai Steel Plant established in 1959, but with time
it is undergoing the transition, wherein it is witnessing the shift in economy from
secondary to tertiary / service sector. Undoubtedly Bhillai Steel Plant and the related
ancillary industries still play a significant role in the city economy. But the other
sectors are also witnessing a fast growth trend in the scenario of changing demographic
profile.
