other than govt run outfits, I am not very aware of the pvt sector producing these kinds of things in gangetic belt. when we look at tag of most manufactured items its usually Guj, MH, or south india or NCR.

there does not seem to be even a single car or truck factory in UP or Bihar? this head end acts as the sink for 100s of small parts makers.
