2. ‘Chittaranjan’ is also not the city of heavy vehicles factories. Thus, it is also an incorrect answer.
3. ‘Perambur’ is also not the appropriate answer to the question. So, it is also incorrect.
4. ‘Chennai’ is the city where Heavy Vehicles Factory is located, i.e. in Avadi, Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu. HVF was set up in the year 1961 by the Ordnance Factory Board, Government of India in order to manufacture heavy battlefield equipment such as Arjun MBT, T-90, T-72, Vijayanta etc. in the field of defense services. The factory is equipped with a 16 megawatt solar power plant which is spread over 80 acres of land. It was established by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) at the price of 1050 million. One of the significant features of this plant is that it helps in reducing carbon dioxide emissions to the extent of 26,000 tonnes per annum which saves approximately annually Rs. 45 million to the HVF and Engine Factory as well. It is headquartered in Avadi, Tamil Nadu.

Therefore the answer is 4. Chennai
