Kandla itself is one of
the leading ports of India which serves the entire
hinterland of Rajasthan, Haryana, Panjab, Jammu & Kashmir,
Madya Pradesh, Delhi and other parts of Uttar Pradesh. The port of Kandla was found to
be the most suitable replacement for Karachi which is now a
part of Pakistan. Since Gandhidham is nearest town to Kandla
Port, the business grew in this area fast. Industries and
business like shipping clearing and handling agents, food
grains, seeds and oils, Steels and Pipes, Transportation and
other related industries were established rather than that
Kutch region is also enjoying a tax holiday scheme.
Gandhidam has a cosmopolitan population from early days
since it consisted of people from all parts of the country.
Mundra port is another upcoming busy port which is 50 kms
away. |
