Explanation

During India's planned industrialization phase, the Soviet Union collaborated to establish two major steel plants: Bokaro Steel Plant (established in 1965 with Soviet collaboration in Jharkhand) and Bhilai Steel Plant (established in 1959 with Soviet collaboration in Chhattisgarh). These were part of India's second five-year plan to develop heavy industry base.
