Q89 (CDS-I/2007) Economy › External Sector & Trade › India trade structure Answer Verified

Which of the following is not correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) is incorrectly matched with Chennai. According to official records, MPEDA is headquartered in Kochi, Kerala, and operates under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to promote the export of seafood [t3][t5][t7]. The other institutions are correctly matched: the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) is a premier institution located in Delhi; the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP) is headquartered in Mumbai, specifically in the MIDC area of Andheri East [t1]; and the Indian Diamond Institute (IDI) is located in Surat, Gujarat, which is a global hub for diamond cutting and polishing [t2][t6]. While Chennai does host a major Export Processing Zone and foreign exchange offices, it is not the headquarters for MPEDA [c1][c4].
