The Asansol-Durgapur region is composed of undulating laterite soil. This area lies between two mighty rivers – the Damodar and the Ajay. They flow almost parallel to each other in the region – the average distance between the two rivers is around 30 km. For ages the area was heavily forested and infested with plunderers and marauders. The discovery of coal in the 18th century led to industrialisation of the area and most of the forests have been cleared.[2]

History

The first production unit of Hindustan Cables was set up in 1952 in Rupnarayanpur, in technical collaboration with Standard Telephones and Cables Ltd.for production of paper insulated dry core cables. In 2007 updated and expanded Rupnarainpur unit, with an installed capacity of 63 LCKM, manufactures polythene insulated jelly filled cables and aerial cables. Facilities for manufacturing 1 million pairs of telephone coiled cords and 1.5 million pieces of computer cords have been set up in the unit. The telephone cords (2 way ovular straight and 4 way ovular extensible etc.) conform to latest specification and cater to Indian market and the computer cords for Computer Industries.[6][7] This company used to make profits up to 1993-94. Since 1995, it has been incurring losses. Tata Consultancy Study Report has clearly stated that revival of HCL is viable provided HCL is diversified into new products. The cost of revival, as per their recommendation, would be Rs.281.22 crore whereas the cost of closure would be Rs.1,766.61 crore.[8] Bihar Pottery has refractory unit at Rupnarayanpur but the refractory industry in the region is facing an uncertain future.[9] Unfortunately, since last couple of year production of sick HCL is totally stopped. Politician roused their voice to protect it. But for some unknown reason Defence denied to overtake this factory. Now you can see the remains of quaryers, factory shed. Lower kesia is totally ditouched as the connecting bridge swept away in 2017 heavy rain.
