Heavy water is manufactured at Trombay.

The other options, Patna, Delhi, and Bhilai, are not known for heavy water manufacturing.

Trombay, located in Maharashtra, is home to the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), which is responsible for the production of heavy water. Heavy water is a form of water that contains a higher proportion of the heavy isotope of hydrogen, known as deuterium. It is used in various nuclear applications, including as a moderator in nuclear reactors.

Therefore, option 1, Trombay, is the correct answer.
