Tata Steel Zoological Park

Tata Steel Zoological Park (TSZP) is situated in a corner of Jubilee Park, Jamshedpur.

TSZP is a recognized 'Medium' category Zoo by the Central Zoo Authority (CZA). The CZA evaluates Zoos on periodic basis and stipulates conditions for their improvement. TSZP has been evaluated by CZA at periodic intervals and major recommendations to meet the prescribed standards are creation of a veterinary hospital with postmortem room and incinerator, shifting of animal enclosures, separate entry and exit gates for visiting public, strengthening perimeter wall etc. CZA had approved the new layout plan of the Zoological Park in July 2020. However, the plan for its implementation got delayed due to Covid, and the work commenced in 2022. The entire project has been phased out and it is likely to be completed by the year 2025.

Recently, Tata Steel Zoological Park was remodeled, and was inaugurated by Tata Steel MD and CEO TV Narendran on 7 January 2022.
