NATRAX, the automotive test track with the longest high-speed track in Asia, has been built at
- A.Pithampur
- B.Mandideep
- C.Malanpur
- D.Meghnagar
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Pithampur. The National Automotive Test Tracks were built at Pithampur in Dhar district as part of the country's automotive testing network, and the oval high-speed track there is the longest of its kind in Asia. Vehicles are tested for maximum speed, braking, handling, noise and fuel economy, which suits Pithampur because the vehicle and component industry is already concentrated around it.
Option B, Mandideep in Raisen district, is an industrial area near Bhopal known for graphite electrodes and pharmaceuticals. Option C, Malanpur in Bhind district, is an industrial area serving the Gwalior and Agra market with consumer goods and engineering. Option D, Meghnagar in Jhabua district, has chemical and pharmaceutical units. Only Pithampur combines the vehicle cluster with the national test facility, so it is the answer whenever testing or automobiles appear in the stem.
