Ponneri, Tumakuru and Krishnapatnam are the nodes of which industrial corridor?
- A.The Bengaluru Mumbai Economic Corridor
- B.The Chennai Bengaluru Industrial Corridor
- C.The Hyderabad Nagpur Industrial Corridor
- D.The East Coast Economic Corridor
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, the Chennai Bengaluru Industrial Corridor. Its three nodes are Ponneri in Tamil Nadu, Tumakuru in Karnataka and Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, and the corridor is developed with Japanese cooperation to link the engineering and automobile cluster of Chennai with the electronics and machine tool cluster of Bengaluru. A is wrong because the Bengaluru Mumbai Economic Corridor has its nodes at Dharwad in Karnataka and Satara in Maharashtra. C is wrong because the Hyderabad Nagpur corridor is a separate alignment through Telangana and Maharashtra. D is wrong because the East Coast Economic Corridor's first phase, the Visakhapatnam Chennai corridor, has nodes at Visakhapatnam, Machilipatnam, Donakonda and Srikalahasti-Chittoor. The three nodes of this corridor fall in three different states, which is unusual and is itself a favourite point of questioning, since Krishnapatnam lies in Andhra Pradesh although the corridor is named after Chennai and Bengaluru.
