Explanation
In 2018 the Government of India announced two defence industrial corridors: one in Uttar Pradesh (with nodes at Aligarh, Agra, Jhansi, Chitrakoot, Kanpur and Lucknow) and one in Tamil Nadu (Chennai, Coimbatore, Hosur, Salem, Tiruchirappalli). No such corridors were announced for Karnataka, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh or Maharashtra at that time. Hence Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are the two states.
