Which two cities of Madhya Pradesh included in 'town of export excellence' ?

Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — A, Dewas and Indore. Under India's central Foreign Trade Policy these are the two Madhya Pradesh towns notified as Towns of Export Excellence (TEE) — Dewas for pharmaceuticals and Indore for soya meal and soya products. TEE status is given to towns whose exports of a specific product cross a high value threshold, so they receive focused export-promotion support.

Why the other options are wrong — (b) Neither Sagar nor Ratlam is a notified Town of Export Excellence for Madhya Pradesh.  (c) Satna is a well-known cement hub but is not a TEE; this pair is not on the list.  (d) Neither town figures among the notified Towns of Export Excellence.

Concept: A Town of Export Excellence (TEE) is an instrument of India's Foreign Trade Policy. Towns producing and exporting a notified product above a value threshold are recognised as TEEs so that export infrastructure and promotion can be concentrated there. Madhya Pradesh has two such towns — Indore and Dewas.
