The Shendra-Bidkin Industrial Park, developed as AURIC, is a node of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor in which state?
- A.Gujarat
- B.Maharashtra
- C.Karnataka
- D.Haryana
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Maharashtra. The Shendra-Bidkin Industrial Park lies near Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, formerly Aurangabad, and is developed as the Aurangabad Industrial City, from which the short name AURIC comes. It is often described as one of India's first planned greenfield industrial smart cities, with services laid out before the plots were sold. A is wrong because Gujarat's node in the corridor is Dholera, with the Ahmedabad-Dholera investment region around it. C is wrong because Karnataka's nodes belong to other corridors, Tumakuru in the Chennai Bengaluru corridor and Dharwad in the Bengaluru Mumbai corridor. D is wrong because the Haryana node of this corridor is the Manesar-Bawal Investment Region on the Delhi-Jaipur alignment. The name AURIC is itself a frequent distractor, since papers may give Aurangabad, its older name, instead of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and expect the candidate to recognise that both refer to the same node in Maharashtra.
