Kheda district

Kheda is an administrative district in Gujarat, India, lying between two major rivers and divided into multiple smaller administrative sections. The district spans several hundred square kilometers with Nadiad serving as its main administrative hub.

The territory was part of the Bombay Presidency during colonial times and became part of Bombay State following independence in 1947. It acquired its current form when Gujarat state was created in 1960.

The population of 2.3 million inhabitants includes 86 percent Hindu and 11 percent Muslim residents, with Gujarati serving as the primary language.

The district is best explored using local transportation, as it contains numerous smaller towns and rural areas spread across the territory. Visitors should expect that services and infrastructure are concentrated around the main administrative centers.

The region contains natural gas deposits that fuel industrial operations in certain areas and contribute to economic activity. Additionally, there is an established timber processing sector with many sawmills that have operated in the area for a long time.
