1.

TATA

Farm land acquisition. Government provided land more than 900 acres some were farm land and
people living in other land (family of farmers) were forced to leave without any compensation. In
wake of getting votes the opposition made it a issue and forced Tata to move. If they had made
the plant then many of the job issues would have been fixed.

4-crops a year land,an exceptionally fertile 1000 acres which the CPM govt was offering to the
Tatas for a miniscule amount for 99 years leadge along with free electricity and water.

Roughly speaking not even 10% of the displaced population would find a job in the factory
simply because it would be automating assembly line requiring little of human labour Even the
farmers would be unskilled labourers doomed to very mineal jobs and it would not even be 20%
of his earlier ageicultural income.

But, also some personal interest of political parties might be there.

Above are some reasons for the question.

2. SEZ

5 Multi-Product Export SEZ. As per Google Tamil Nadu has highest number of SEZ in India.

3. Refinery

Gujarat has some of the largest refineries of India. Where, in Jamnagar there is a largest refinery
in India as well as in the world with 33 MMTPA capacity of crude oil refining. Where, Gujarat
has the most suitable location for the oil refineries with long sea shore and some of the biggest
sea ports of India which provides ease of doing business. So, Gujarat’s refineries have 37% of
the total shares in the crude refining sector of India with 93.7 MMTPA from total 255 MMTPA.

4. Cement

For cement manufacturing limestone is the important raw material and India is the third largest
country in the world in producing limestone with 16 million tonnes per annum.

With the boom in the real estate sector in India, there is a huge potential for infrastructural
growth. The demand for the best quality cement in the infrastructure industry has grown
exponentially. Now India is the second largest producer of cement in the world with the
production capacity of 502 million tonnes per year (mtpy) in 2018.
The top 20 leading cement companies in India account for almost 70 percent of the total cement
production of the country.

The government has planned the development of 99 smart cities, so it is expected that there will
be positive growth in the cement business as well. Cement consumption is expected to grow by
4.5 percent in FY19. Cement industry has attracted FDI of total US$ 5.26 billion between April
2000 and June 2018.

So, with such good results and proper government initiative, the future of the cement industry in
India looks promising.

5. Solvay for soda ash

For soda ash manufacturing process ammonia, salt and limestone are main raw material. And this
process also need high amount of energy so, we need coke or gas as an utility to provide heat to
process.

GHCL’s Soda ash manufacturing facility located at Sutrapada, Gujarat, is one of India’s leading
producers of Soda Ash (Anhydrous Sodium Carbonate) and has an annual production capacity of
1.1 Million Tonnes per annum. It contributes to almost 25% of the country’s annual domestic
demand. It has a clear competitive advantage due to its captive raw material sources. Its lignite
mines located at Khadsaliya in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat supply the raw material needed
for the production of Soda ash.
Limestone mines at Sutrapada,Veraval and Talala Taluka of Gir-Somnath district have an
average production 45 MT to 500 MT per day of chemical grade limestone.

And with this Gujarat has longest sea shore with largest salt producing state in India and third
highest in the world.

And in south Gujarat there are some companies like GNFC and GSFC which produces ammonia
at large extent.

6. Moisture

Moisture loss during processing cannot be totally eliminated as the act of processing will
increase the temperature of the material, which will cause it to become drier. However, by
increasing the humidity of the air surrounding the textile directly after processing, the material
experiences “regain”. Moisture is reabsorbed by the textile, thus improving the quality and
performance of the fabric.
This regain also has a direct impact on the weight of the textile. As textile yarns are sold by
weight, if a drop in humidity leads to a 4% reduction in weight, this will require 4% more fibre
to be included in the sale product. For a mill manufacturing 80 tonnes of textile per day, this can
lead to a loss of 3,200kg of product per day due to incorrect humidity control.
When it comes to cotton products, increasing the relative humidity by 10% (from 60% to
70%RH) raises the material’s elasticity by more than 15% (Source: Institute of Textile
Technology, USA, humidity level 60%)

Yarn and textiles are very sensitive to the air quality. They emit moisture into the dry ambient air
and lose their elasticity and tear resistance. So if the humidity levels are too low, it can often
lead to tearing of the yarn, causing timely and costly disruptions to production. Also, in a
controlled humid environment, machine glide quality is increased due to less frictional
resistance.

7. Sugarcane

Today, there are around 554 sugar mills and factories in the state of Gujarat.
ugarcane is an important cash crop of South Gujarat having economical, political and
sociological significance. Sugarcane is cultivated in 0.18 mha, producing 13.3 T of cane at
approximately 75 t/ha in Gujarat.
A long, sunny, and hot (32 °C to 38 °C, 90 °F to 100 °F) growing season with moderate to high
levels of rainfall (1100 and 1500 mm total), combined with a dry and cooler (12 ˚C to 14 ˚C, 54
°F to 57 °F) harvest season is ideal.
As mentioned above south Gujarat has been almost full fill all the necessities for harvesting of
sugarcane. South Gujarat is the part of Gujarat which has more rain fall in compare to other parts
of Gujarat. Due to all these conditions there is more production of sugarcane is done in south
Gujarat. That is why most of the sugar mills and factories are in south Gujarat.
