Economy & infrastructure (ADB loan): Government of India and ADB signed a US$26 million loan agreement for an urban project—identify the state. Loan amount: $26 million (USD) Context: Urban infrastructure/water-supply project additional financing. Choose the correct state.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Assam

Explanation:

Given data

  • Loan partner: Asian Development Bank (ADB).
  • Amount: US$26 million.
  • Purpose: Urban project (additional financing for urban infrastructure).


Concept/Approach
ADB has supported Northeast urban infrastructure through the Assam Urban Infrastructure Investment Program. The relatively small ticket size (US$26 million) matches an additional financing tranche reported for Assam, especially for water supply and urban services in cities such as Guwahati and Dibrugarh.


Elimination
Other states' recent ADB urban loans have typically been larger and differently titled; the US$26 million figure aligns with Assam's additional financing.


Final Answer
Assam
