3 Industries
Diamond·Textile·Chem
💎Diamond: Surat cuts 90% of world's diamonds · Katargam zone
🧵Textile: "Textile Capital of India" · Udhna · Surat 40% of India's synthetic fabric
🏭GIDC Sachin: Largest industrial estate · 2,000+ units · All industries
Surat's industrial ecosystem is built on three dominant industries — diamonds (90% of the world's cut diamonds pass through Surat), synthetic textiles (40% of India's production), and chemicals (dyes, surfactants, pharmaceuticals). Each industry has its own preferred zone: Katargam for diamonds, Udhna and Surat city for textiles, Pandesara for chemicals. GIDC Sachin serves as the all-industry hub. For an entrepreneur choosing a Surat location, zone selection is the first and most important decision — it determines labour availability, regulatory environment, supply chain access, and resale value.

Define Zone + Industry
Choose zone based on your industry: Diamond → Katargam. Textile → Udhna. Chemical → Pandesara/Sachin. Logistics → Bamroli. New factory → Sachin/Palsana.

GIDC vs Private Decision
