Complete answer:
The Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) is situated in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu at Avadi in Chennai. Avadi is an acronym for the Armored Vehicles and Ammunition Depot of India.
The Ordnance Factories Board of the Government of India founded HVF in 1965 to manufacture heavy battlefield equipment, including Vijayantas and T-72 tanks.
Currently, HVF produces the main battle tank Arjun and the T-90s in India. HVF's Engine Factory works independently from HVF.
Now lets see the options :-
Kanpur :- The Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) is situated in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu at Avadi in Chennai thus this option is wrong.
Chitranjan :- The Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) is situated in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu at Avadi in Chennai thus this option is wrong.
