The cotton textile industry was mainly concentrated in the cotton growing areas because of the following reasons:

  • Abundant availability of raw cotton due to favourable climate and presence of black soil
  • Huge market for cotton textile in and around Mumbai. 
  • Well-developed means of transport including the port facilities in Mumbai.
  • Cheap labour from the adjoining areas.
  • Mild and moist climate is favourable for spinning the cotton yarn.
