1. Mumbai-Pune Industrial Region:
This
region extends from Thane to Pune and in adjoining districts of Nashik
and Solapur. In addition, industries have grown at a rapid pace in
Kolaba, Ahmednagar, Satara, Sangli and Jalgaon districts also. This
region owes its origin to the British rule in India.

Kolaba, Ahmednagar, Satara, Sangli and Jalgaon districts also. This
region owes its origin to the British rule in India.
The
seeds of its growth were sown in 1774 when the island-site was obtained
for construction of Mumbai port. The opening of the first railway track
of 34 kms between Mumbai and Thane in 1853, opening of the Bhor and
Thai Ghats respectively to Pune and Nashik and that of Suez Canal in
1869 led to the development of Mumbai.

The growth of this
industrial region is fully connected with the growth of cotton textile
industry in India. As the coal was far removed, hydel power was
developed in Western Ghats. Cotton was cultivated in the black cotton
soil area of the Narmada and Tapi basins.

Cheap labour-force came
from the hinterland, the port facilities for export-import and
communication links with the peninsular hinterland made Mumbai the
‘Cottonopolis of India’. With the development of cotton textile
industry, the chemical industry developed too.

Opening of the
Mumbai High petroleum field and erection of nuclear energy plants added
additional magnetic force to this region. Now the industrial centres
have developed, from Mumbai to Kurla, Kolaba, Thane, Ghatkopar, Ville
Parle, Jogeshwari, Andheri, Thane, Bhandup, Kalyan, Pimpri, Pune,
Nashik, Manmad, Solapur, Ahmednagar, Satara and Sangli.

The
partition of the country in 1947 adversely affected this region because
81% of the total irrigated cotton area growing long staple cotton went
to Pakistan. Mumbai, the nucleus of this industrial region, is facing
the current limitation of space for the expansion of the industry.
Dispersal of industries is essential to bring about decongestion.

2. The Hugli Industrial Region:
Located
in West Bengal, this region extends as a narrow belt running along the
river Hugli for a distance of about 100 km from Bansbaria and Naihati in
the north to Birlanagar in the south. Industries have also developed in
Midnapur district in the west. The river Hugli offered the best site
for the development of an inland river port as nucleus for the
development of Hugli industrial region.

The old trading centre of
late 17th century has developed into the present industrial hub of
Kolkata. Thus Kolkata-Haora forms the nucleus of this region. It is very
well- connected by the Ganga and its tributaries with the rich
hinterland of Ganga-Brahmaputra plains. Besides navigable rivers, roads
and the railways provided subsequent links to the great benefit of
Kolkata port.

The discovery of coal and iron ore in Chotanagpur
plateau, tea plantations in Assam and northern parts of West Bengal and
the processing of deltaic Bengal’s jute led to the industrial
development in this region. Cheap labour could be found easily from the
thickly populated states of Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand and eastern part of
U.P. Kolkata, having been designated capital city of the British India
(1773-1912) attracted large scale British investment of capital.

Establishment
of first jute mill at Rishra in 1855 ushered in the era of modem
industrial clustering in this region. A chain of jute mills and other
factories could be established on either side of Hugli River with the
help of Damodar valley coal. The port site was best-suited for export of
raw materials to England and import of finished goods from that
country.

Kolkata’s industries have established by drawing in the
raw materials from adjoining regions and distributing the finished goods
to consuming points. Thus, the role of transport and communication
network has been as important as the favourable locational factors in
the growth of this region. By 1921, Kolkata-Hugli region was responsible
for two-thirds of factory employment in India.

Just after the
partition of old Bengal province in 1947, the region faced, for some
years, the problem of shortage of jute as most of the jute-growing areas
went to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The problem was solved by
gradually increasing home production of jute. Cotton textile industry
also grew along with jute industry.

Paper, engineering, textile
machinery, electrical, chemical, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers and
petrochemical industries have also developed in this region. Factory of
the Hindustan Motors Limited at Konanagar and diesel engine factory at
Chittaranjan are landmarks of this region.

Location of petroleum
refinery at Haldia has facilitated the development of a variety of
industries. The major centres of this industrial region are Kolkata,
Haora, Haldia, Serampur, Rishra, Shibpur, Naihati, Kakinara, Shamnagar,
Titagarh, Sodepur, Budge Budge, Birlanagar, Bansbaria, Belgurriah,
Triveni, Hugli, Belur, etc.

Alarming rate of silting of the Hugli
River was a very serious problem. The depth of water in the channel from
bay head to Kolkata docks must be kept at 9.2 metres for big ocean
ships to come in. Dredging out of the silt rapidly filling up the water
channel was very costly and not a permanent solution to save the life of
Kolkata port.

The construction of Farakka barrage about 300 kms
upstream on Ganga and flushing of the channel are the only possible
answers. The construction of Haldia port in the lower reaches of Hugli
to the south of Kolkata is another landmark in relieving the great
pressure of cargo ships on the port of Kolkata.

However, the
industrial growth of this region has slowed down as compared to the
other regions. There are several reasons for this sluggish growth but
decline in jute industry is said to be one of the main reasons.

3. Bangalore-Tamil Nadu Industrial Region:
Spread
in two states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, this region experienced the
fastest industrial growth in the post-independence era. Till 1960,
industries were confined to Bangalore district of Karnataka and Salem
and Madurai districts of Tamil Nadu. But now they have spread over all
the districts of Tamil Nadu except Viluppuram.

4. Gujarat Industrial Region:
The
nucleus of this region lies between Ahmedabad and Vadodara as a result
of which it is also known as Ahmedabad-Vadodara industrial region.
However, this region extends upto Valsad and Surat in the south and
Jamnagar in the west. The region corresponds to the cotton growing
tracts of the Gujarat plains and the development of this region is
associated with the location of textile industry since 1860s.

This
region became important textile region with the decline of cotton
textile industry in Mumbai. Mumbai has the disadvantage of paying double
freight charges for first bringing the raw cotton from the peninsular
hinterland and then despatching the finished products to inland
consuming points in India.
