Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: Andhra Pradesh. Bharat Forge signed an MoU with the Government of Andhra Pradesh on 19 May 2026 to establish India’s first private-sector Marine Gas Turbine repair, overhaul, and development facility. The project will be set up in Visakhapatnam within the Andhra Pradesh Defence Manufacturing Corridor over an area of about 80 acres. The facility will be located near key naval installations including the Naval Dockyard, INS Eksila, and the Eastern Naval Command Headquarters. Marine gas turbines are naval propulsion systems used in warships and fast naval vessels due to high power-to-weight ratio and rapid acceleration. Phase 1 of the project includes repair, overhaul, hot section restoration, component manufacturing, and a 72-hour turnaround capability. Phase 2 will establish India’s first private-sector Marine Gas Turbine development and assembly hall with a hot test cell for indigenous development. Defence industrial corridors are specialised zones for defence manufacturing and are present in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, apart from Andhra Pradesh.
