In which district of Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Center Banmore is situated ?

Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

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.

Why the other options are wrong — (b) Bhind is a neighbouring Chambal-region district (home to the Malanpur industrial belt), but Banmore itself lies in Morena, not Bhind.  (c) A separate district further south in the Gwalior division; the Banmore centre is not located here.  (d) A distinct district on the Malwa fringe, unrelated to the Banmore industrial area.

Concept: 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.
