The Mundra advantage

Location benefit

Gujarat has a strategic location, which gives it easy accessibility to the Western, Middle East and African markets. The state has the longest coastline among all states in India: 1,600 km. Mundra provides an ideal location for product evacuation due to the shortest logistics connectivity to the north-western hinterland. The port is an ideal location with regard to Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh for export of cargo.

Industrial clusters

Mundra has land available in parcel sizes of 1 acre to over 2,000 acres. The Mundra Manufacturing Zone provides equal opportunities for all industrial sectors. However, a cluster-based industrial development strategy assumes that such strategy provides a greater economic benefit to the units.

A cluster-based development model has been successfully implemented at the Mundra SEZ, with a cluster each for textiles, chemicals and electronics. With the vision of Make in India, we aim to focus on the development of five more clusters – chemicals and petrochemicals, FMCG, logistics, heavy engineering, and plastics. We aim to build industrial clusters by partnering to provide all support industrial and social infrastructure for each of the above.
