Moreover, the State is rich in mineral resources like limestone, lignite and bauxite. It is also a leading producer of cement and soda ash and has the largest diamond processing industry in the country. Thus, the geographic diversity and strategic location has made Gujarat home to an incredible diversity of people.

With 5% of India's population, Gujarat has 16% of industrial production and has also mobilised the highest share (12.7%) of the investments through lEMs in the country. Around 22 % of Indian exports contributed by Gujarat. Ahmedabad is rated as the third fastest growing city in the world (2010) by Forbes magazine.

Ahmedabad is an industrial base for sectors such as chemicals, textiles, drugs and pharmaceuticals and agro and food processing industries.

The Gujarat Government gives tax concessions for investment in backward areas. For instance, the Government has announced exemptions for investment in the Kutch district.

The state offers investors a distinct advantage in terms of quality manpower and infrastructure facilities such as power and water supply, ports and now a gas grid. This is encouraging multinationals and leading Indian companies to turn their manufacturing plants in the state into global sourcing bases.

ABB plans to invest a further US$ 500 million in its Vadodara plant and use it as a global sourcing base for circuit breakers and other electrical equipment. Arvind Mills, the second largest denim manufacturer in the world has doubled its manufacturing capacity. Glaxo SmithKline India, plans to use its manufacturing plant in Ankleshwar as a global sourcing hub for an intermediary used in manufacturing Zantac. Aventis, an international pharma giant, will service its global requirements for glibenclamide from its plant in Ankleshwar, Gujarat.

Invest opportunities in Information technology. Gujarat is a good destination for Information technology (IT) industries. There are several big IT software companies located in the State. Accordingly, the Government of Gujarat has undertaken several initiatives in the IT sector.
