Model Answer
Industrial base of Haryana
- The industrial base of Haryana is dominated by the automobile and auto components industry, which is centred on the Gurugram-Manesar-Faridabad belt, along with information technology and electronics.
- Haryana produces a very large share of the country's passenger cars, tractors, motorcycles and refrigerators, and Faridabad and Gurugram are the leading industrial districts.
- Cotton textiles, sugar processing and farm machinery are important agro-based industries of the State but they do not form the main industrial base. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect.
- The State also has a well developed chemical, fertilizer, cement, paper and consumer goods industry, along with the petro-chemical complex at Panipat. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
