  2. Hoshangabad
  3. Hyderabad
  4. Aurangabad
  5. Dewas
Which of the above locations house currency printing institutions?

Answer: 1, 2, 3 and 5
Notes: Currency printing presses in India are located at Nasik (Maharashtra), Dewas (Madhya Pradesh), Mysore (Karnataka), and Salboni (West Bengal). Hoshangabad houses the Security Paper Mill for paper production, not note printing. Hyderabad is home to a government mint, not a currency printing press. Thus, options 1, 2, 3 and 5 are correct regarding printing related institutions.
