The textile industry of the city of Ahmedabad in the state of Gujarat in India dates back to the 19th century, when the industry was established under the British raj. Textile mills employed thousands of people from across the state, and the cotton garments manufactured were exported around the world. The prosperity of the industry was the mainstay of the city's economy. It is called the "Manchester of India".[citation needed] Thus, the Ahmedabad is officially famous for cotton textile works.
The Arvind Mills is a company that processes denim for jeans worldwide, it is located near the Sabarmati river; as such the water required for the textile industry is easily available. The black soil found abundantly in Gujarat is best suited for the cultivation of cotton which is mostly required for the industry. and black soil is found in Maharashtra also.
Another major company in Ahmedabad is Ashima group. Electricity and cheap labour are available in abundance. Ahmedabad stands very near to the sea and as such export and import becomes easy. Ahmedabad outsources maximum of its cotton fabric from Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra. It is finished here and sold all over country.
