Ahmedabad, the Manchester of India, is the first city of focus in our list. It is the largest inland industrial center and the second largest industrial center in western part of India after Mumbai.

Traditionally, textile industry has been the main industry and is the driving force behind boom in this area. The city is also home to thriving chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry.

The last few years has also witnessed rise of IT industry in the city. A Nasscom survey in 2002 on the ‘Super Nine Indian Destinations’ for IT-enabled services (ITES) named Ahmedabad as the fifth most competitive cities in the country.
