Q74 (CAPF/2026) Economy › Industry, Infrastructure & Investment

Consider the following statements regarding Industrial Corridors in India :
1. They are linear development zones.
2. They connect all major State capitals through an integrated network of roads, railways, ports and airports.
3. They promote acceleration of industrial growth.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

Industrial Corridors are integrated infrastructure projects aimed at creating a world-class manufacturing base. Statement 1 is correct as they are linear development zones planned along high-speed transportation arteries like highways or railways.

Statement 2 is incorrect because these corridors do not connect all major state capitals. Instead, they are specific routes connecting key industrial hubs and ports (e.g., the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor or the Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor). While they integrate roads, railways, and ports, their coverage is regional and strategic rather than universal across all capitals.

Statement 3 is correct as the primary objective of these corridors is to promote acceleration of industrial growth, attract foreign investment, and boost the manufacturing sector's contribution to the GDP. The National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (NICDC) coordinates these efforts under the National Industrial Corridor Programme.
