Chas market is one of the biggest wholesale market in the region better known as the wholesale market of the B.S.City district. It is situated on the junction of National Highway 23 and National Highway 32. Chas comes under the agglomeration of Bokaro Steel City. Once a small grain trading hub of the region, this town first became famous during the Second World War when the British government used it as a base to supply soldiers fighting on the eastern front against the Japanese. After the decision of Government of India to establish the Bokaro Steel Plant it gained in stature. It was the administrative headquarters of the area when Bokaro was a part of Dhanbad district, and later when Bokaro became a district. Recently the headquarters were moved to the steel township. Chas continues to be a trading hub, but has declined in importance after the rise of the township to the west. The old Chas bazaar still remains a cheap wholesale market. One Electrosteel plant is also going to be set up in the Talgadiya area of Chas.
