The Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor is being developed with the cooperation of which country?
- A.Japan
- B.Germany
- C.South Korea
- D.France
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Japan. The Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor was conceived in 2006 as a project to be built with Japanese technical and financial cooperation, and Japanese agencies have funded both the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor and several of the corridor's nodes. The Chennai Bengaluru Industrial Corridor is also developed with Japanese support. B is wrong because Germany is not a partner in this corridor, although German firms invest in its nodes. C is wrong because South Korea's industrial cooperation with India runs through separate investment arrangements, not this corridor. D is wrong because France is not a development partner here. The Bengaluru Mumbai Economic Corridor is the one taken up with United Kingdom cooperation, and the Visakhapatnam Chennai Industrial Corridor is supported by the Asian Development Bank.
