Discussion
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : India is the second largest arms importer after Ukraine during 2020-24, as per the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute report.
Statement II : India has developed two defence industrial corridors in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu to boost the defence manufacturing.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Answer: A
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute's report of March 2025 found that Ukraine was the largest importer of major arms in 2020-24, followed by India, which took about 8 percent of global arms imports. India has also set up two defence industrial corridors, one in Uttar Pradesh (with nodes such as Lucknow, Kanpur and Jhansi) and one in Tamil Nadu (with nodes such as Chennai and Coimbatore), to build up domestic defence manufacturing.
Since both statements are accurate, every other option is ruled out.
