Gujarat state is always supportive of industries & business since historical times as result of which many industries have developed in Gujarat viz. textile, chemical, engineering, petrochemicals etc. The soil of Gujarat is blessed with many mineral resources and progress oriented habitants as result of which its society and country have reaped the benefits of development.
Mineral richness of Gujarat contributes significantly in the nation’s development as about 50% of onland crude oil and 40% of gas production in the country originates from Gujarat State. In the last 6 years, 37 MMT of crude oil was produced from Gujarat without any hindrance (i.e. without any socio-political problems) and as a result of which imports worth Rs. 48000 Cr were saved. In this manner, Gujarat contributes to the energy security of the entire nation and reduces country's dependence on imported crude.
