Bokaro Steel Plant receives iron ore from the Kiriburu mines in the Rourkela region (Odisha-Jharkhand belt). Water for the plant is supplied from the Tenughat Dam on the Damodar River, and hydel power is provided by the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC). Bhilai (1955) was set up with Soviet help but is in Chhattisgarh. Rourkela (1959) was set up with German collaboration. Durgapur (1959) was set up with British collaboration. Hence, Bokaro fits all three criteria.
