Dahej

Dahej is a port town located in the Bharuch district of Gujarat, India. It is situated on the west coast of India, facing the Gulf of Cambay. The town is primarily known for its industrial development, particularly in the petrochemical and chemical sectors. Dahej has been developed as a Petroleum, Chemical and Petrochemical Investment Region (PCPIR) by the Gujarat government, aiming to attract significant investment in these industries.

The Dahej port itself is a deep-water port that handles a variety of cargo, including bulk, liquid, and containerized goods. Its strategic location and modern infrastructure have made it a crucial hub for trade and commerce. The development of the port and the surrounding industrial zone has led to substantial economic growth in the region.

Several major national and international companies have established their manufacturing units in Dahej, contributing to its industrial landscape. The presence of these industries has also resulted in an increase in population and the development of supporting infrastructure, such as residential areas, transportation networks, and utilities. Dahej is considered an important component of Gujarat's industrial strategy and a key contributor to India's chemical and petrochemical production capacity.
