Which of the following regions is/are NOT known for cotton-textile industry ? 1. Murnbai - Pune region 2. Madurai - Coimbatore region 3. Dhanbad - Jamshedpur region 4. Indore - Lfjjain region Select the correct answer using the code given below:

The cotton textile industry in India is concentrated in regions with raw material availability, moist climates, and port access. The Mumbai-Pune region in Maharashtra is a leading producer, with Mumbai known as the 'Cottonopolis of India' [2]. The Madurai-Coimbatore region in Tamil Nadu is another major hub; Coimbatore is often called the 'Manchester of South India' due to its high density of mills [1]. The Indore-Ujjain region in Madhya Pradesh is also a recognized cotton textile center. In contrast, the Dhanbad-Jamshedpur region is primarily known for heavy industries like iron, steel, and coal mining rather than textiles. Therefore, only the Dhanbad-Jamshedpur region is NOT known for the cotton-textile industry. This distribution reflects the historical shift of mills from port cities to inland cotton-growing tracts and areas with hydroelectric power [2].
