RAS question
Where is the Mahindra World City SEZ located in Rajasthan?
Correct answer: (A) Jaipur.
Mahindra World City SEZ in Rajasthan is located at Jaipur.
Explanation
Mahindra World City SEZ is associated with Jaipur, which is why Jaipur is the right answer. Mahindra's official release identifies Mahindra World City Jaipur Ltd. as MWC Jaipur and says its existing sectoral SEZs for Engineering and Related Industries, IT/ITeS, Handicrafts, and Gems and Jewellery were merged to operate as one multi-product SEZ. This supports the standard RAS framing that Mahindra World City SEZ is near Jaipur and is among Rajasthan's major SEZ locations, with IT, handicraft and light engineering activity. The key exam point is the place-name link: when the question asks where the Mahindra World City SEZ is located in Rajasthan, the anchored location is Jaipur, not another large Rajasthan city.
Why the other options are wrong
- (B) Kota is an important Rajasthan city, but the cited Mahindra release names the project as Mahindra World City Jaipur, not Kota.
- (C) Udaipur is not supported by the question's explanation or the official Mahindra source, which both place the SEZ near Jaipur.
- (D) Jodhpur is not the location of Mahindra World City SEZ; the official source repeatedly identifies the SEZ with Jaipur.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan's industrial geography, especially the mapping of major SEZs and industrial nodes to their cities. It recurs in RAS because SEZ locations connect economy, investment and regional development in one factual prompt.
