Where is Avadi Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) located?

1. Perambur
2. Chennai
3. Kanpur
4. Chittaranjan

1. Kanpur is not related to the question, so it is the wrong answer.
2. Chittaranjan is also not known for heavy vehicle factories, so this is incorrect too.
3. Perambur doesn’t match the question either, making it the wrong answer.
4. Chennai is the correct answer. The Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) is located in Avadi, Chennai, in Tamil Nadu. It was set up in 1961 by the Ordnance Factory Board, Government of India to produce heavy battlefield equipment like Arjun MBT, T-90, T-72, and Vijayanta tanks.

The factory also has a 16-megawatt solar power plant built on 80 acres of land by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) at a cost of ₹1050 million. This plant helps reduce 26,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions every year and saves around ₹4.5 crore annually for both the HVF and the Engine Factory.

Final Answer: B. Chennai.
