Industrial profile: Gujarat
Gujarat's chemical industry runs in a near-continuous belt along the western rail and road corridor: Vapi and Sarigam in the south, Surat and Hazira, the Bharuch–Ankleshwar–Dahej complex, Vadodara and Nandesari, and the GIDC estates around Ahmedabad.
Plants here tend to be process-driven and solvent-intensive, so ethanol is usually bought as a production input on a schedule rather than as an occasional purchase.
