The Vikram Udyogpuri integrated industrial township, a node of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor, lies near which city?
- A.Indore
- B.Ujjain
- C.Bhopal
- D.Jabalpur
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Ujjain. Vikram Udyogpuri is an integrated industrial township developed near Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh as one of the state's two nodes in the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor. A is wrong, though it is the closest distractor: the other Madhya Pradesh node of the corridor is the Pithampur-Dhar-Mhow Investment Region, which lies near Indore, so the two nodes are easily swapped. C is wrong because Bhopal, the state capital, is not a node of this corridor. D is wrong because Jabalpur lies well to the east of the corridor's alignment, outside the influence zone of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor. Pairing each node with its state and its nearest city is the way these questions are set. Ujjain's node is also linked to the city's older industrial name, since Vikram Udyogpuri takes its name from Vikramaditya, the legendary ruler associated with Ujjain in Indian tradition.
