Ahmedabad textile industry
- Ahmedabad textile industry
The textile industry of the city of Ahmedabad in the state of Gujarat in India dates back to the 19th century, when the city and the industry was established under the British Raj. Textile mills employed thousands of people from across the state, and the cotton garments manufactured were exported across the world. The prosperity of the industry was the mainstay of the city's economy, and Ahmedabad was accordingly termed the "Manchester of the East." The Arvind Mills is a major company that processes denim for jeans worldwide.This industry has proved a great boon for the people of Ahmedabad due to its situation near the Sabarmati river; as such the water required for the textile industry is easily available. The black soil found abundantly in Gujarat is best suited for the cultivation of cotton which is mostly required for the industry. Electricity and cheap labour are available in abundance. Ahmedabad stands very near to the sea and as such export and import becomes easy
