In which district of Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Center Banmore is situated ?
- (a)Morena
- (b)Bhind
- (c)Shivpuri
- (d)Guna
Correct — A, Morena. The Banmore industrial area is a state industrial growth centre in Morena district, in the Chambal (Gwalior) division of northern Madhya Pradesh. It sits on the Agra–Mumbai national highway a short distance south of Morena town and hosts engineering, chemical, agro-processing, tyre and edible-oil units.
- (b)Bhind — Bhind is a neighbouring Chambal-region district (home to the Malanpur industrial belt), but Banmore itself lies in Morena, not Bhind.
- (c)Shivpuri — A separate district further south in the Gwalior division; the Banmore centre is not located here.
- (d)Guna — A distinct district on the Malwa fringe, unrelated to the Banmore industrial area.
This tests Madhya Pradesh's industrial geography — the pairing of a named industrial area/growth centre with its district. Banmore is a major industrial hub of the Chambal division, developed along the Agra–Mumbai NH in Morena district, and is one of northern MP's principal manufacturing clusters.
MPPSC repeatedly asks 'which industrial area is in which district'. The safe move is to memorise the anchor pairs. Banmore ties firmly to Morena; the other options are all real MP districts placed as near-neighbour traps.
- Banmore is an industrial area in Morena district, northern MP (Chambal division).
- It lies on the Agra–Mumbai National Highway, just south of Morena town.
- Its units span engineering, chemicals, agro-processing, tyres and edible oil.
- Morena is part of the Gwalior–Chambal industrial belt of the state.
Banmore is an industrial hub in Morena district.
- Confusing Banmore (Morena) with Malanpur (Bhind) — both lie in the Gwalior–Chambal industrial belt.
- Guessing the state capital's district for every industrial-hub question.
MPPSC pairs an industrial area/growth centre with its district; UPSC seldom tests local hubs but does test industrial-corridor and SEZ concepts.
