The Khushkhera-Bhiwadi-Neemrana Investment Region is a node of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor in which state?
- A.Haryana
- B.Rajasthan
- C.Uttar Pradesh
- D.Gujarat
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Rajasthan. Khushkhera, Bhiwadi and Neemrana lie in the Alwar and Khairthal-Tijara belt of north-eastern Rajasthan, close to the Delhi border and on the Delhi-Jaipur highway, and the region is already a cluster of automobile ancillary, electronics and Japanese-owned units. A is wrong because the Haryana node of this corridor is the Manesar-Bawal Investment Region, which lies just across the state boundary from Bhiwadi, which is exactly why the two are confused. C is wrong because the Uttar Pradesh node is the Integrated Industrial Township at Greater Noida, near the corridor's northern terminus at Dadri. D is wrong because Gujarat's node is Dholera, on the Gulf of Khambhat, with the Ahmedabad-Dholera region around it. Bhiwadi is often called Rajasthan's gateway industrial town for this reason, since it draws on the labour and the market of the National Capital Region while lying outside it.
