2. **Madurai – Coimbatore region:** This region in Tamil Nadu is a very prominent textile hub, particularly for cotton textiles, and Coimbatore is often referred to as the “Manchester of South India”.
3. **Dhanbad – Jamshedpur region:** Located in Jharkhand, this region is the heart of India’s coal mining and heavy industries, particularly known for iron and steel production (Jamshedpur hosts the Tata Steel plant). It is not known for cotton textiles.
4. **Indore – Ujjain region:** Situated in Madhya Pradesh, this region is part of the cotton-growing belt and has established cotton textile mills.
Therefore, the Dhanbad – Jamshedpur region is the one not primarily associated with the cotton-textile industry.
