Maruti Suzuki's passenger car plants in Haryana are located at Gurugram and
- A.Manesar
- B.Bawal
- C.Kharkhoda
- D.Dharuhera
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Manesar. The company's long-standing Haryana plants are at Gurugram and at Manesar, which lies on the Delhi-Jaipur highway in the same district and grew into an industrial model township around the car plant and its component suppliers, making the Gurugram-Manesar belt the centre of India's passenger car making. Option B, Bawal, in Rewari district, is an industrial estate with other automobile and electronics units, not the company's car plant. Option C, Kharkhoda, in Sonipat district, is the site of a newer industrial township for which a plant was announced later, so it is the forward-looking distractor rather than the established answer. Option D, Dharuhera, also in Rewari district, is known for two-wheeler manufacturing in the Hero MotoCorp belt. Fix the pair Gurugram-Manesar for cars and Dharuhera for two-wheelers.
