This happened in 1919, Lord Chelmsford renamed it Jamshedpur in Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata’s honour.

Jamsetji Tata established the Tata Group as a private trading firm in 1868. Regarded as the 'Father of Indian Industry', he was born in Navsari on March 3, 1839. The Tata Iron and Steel Industry that he had set up is considered to be the oldest industry of the country.
