Ahmedabad-Vadodara Region This region is characterised by an inland location in the cotton growing Gujarat plains. The following factors helped the industrialisation of this region.
(i) The decline of cotton textile industry of Mumbai due to high transportation costs of cotton from the peninsular region and easy access of Ahmedabad-Vadodara region to raw cotton worked to the advantage of this belt.
(ii) The petrochemical industry around Vadodara and Ankaleshwar developed after oil was discovered in the Gulf of Cambay.
(iii) Location of Kandla port is an obvious advantage. (iv) The densely populated northern plains in close proximity provided an easy market.
Now the region has diversified into diesel engines, textiles machinery, pharmaceuticals and food processing.
