Under CMPS, India's annual container manufacturing capacity is targeted to rise to how much?
- A.2.5 lakh TEUs
- B.5 lakh TEUs
- C.7.5 lakh TEUs
- D.10 lakh TEUs
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 7.5 lakh TEUs. The scheme envisages raising annual domestic container manufacturing capacity by roughly ten times, up to that level. TEU stands for twenty-foot equivalent unit, the standard unit in which container capacity and port traffic are measured, so a question may test the expansion of the abbreviation as readily as the number itself. Options A and B are lower figures not stated in the decision, while option D is a round number that looks plausible beside a ten-fold increase and is therefore the most tempting wrong choice. Candidates should hold the capacity target together with the multiple: the capacity is to grow about ten-fold and to reach 7.5 lakh TEUs, which together tell you roughly what the existing base must be. The purpose behind the target is to cut reliance on imported boxes and firm up supply chains.
