The correct answer is: A) Cement
Telangana is a significant producer of cement. The state has the second largest cement production capacity in India, after Gujarat. In 2020, Telangana produced 28.5 million tonnes of cement, accounting for 12% of India’s total cement production. The state’s cement industry is dominated by a few large companies, including UltraTech Cement, ACC, and Ambuja Cements.
Cement is a key ingredient in the construction industry. It is used to make concrete, which is used in the construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. The demand for cement is expected to grow in Telangana in the coming years, driven by the state’s rapid economic growth.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Steel is a significant industrial product in Gujarat, not Telangana.
- Automobiles are a significant industrial product in Maharashtra, not Telangana.
- Electronics are a significant industrial product in Tamil Nadu, not Telangana.
