Answer:

Factors that helped the city become a textile centre

              • Ahmedabad is situated in the heart of a cotton growing area; hence the major raw material is easily available.

 

              • The humid climate is ideal for spinning and weaving.

 

              • The flat terrain and easy availability of land is suitable for the establishment of the mills.

 

              • The densely populated states of Gujarat and Maharashtra provide both skilled and semi-skilled labour.

 

              • Well developed road and railway network permits easy transportation of textiles to different parts of the country, thus providing easy access to the market.

 

              • The Mumbai port which is situated nearby facilitates import of machinery and export of cotton textiles.
