Bharuch district

Bharuch district extends along the banks of the Narmada River, encompassing nine distinct administrative divisions called talukas across western Gujarat state.

The district developed from an ancient maritime trading center that connected India with Greek, Persian, and Roman civilizations through its strategic port location.

The region maintains deep connections to Hindu mythology through its association with sage Bhrigu, while supporting a population that includes Hindu, Muslim, and other religious communities.

The district features extensive transportation networks, with railways and highways connecting its industrial centers to major cities including Surat and Vadodara.

The local economy combines traditional agricultural production of cotton and sugarcane with modern chemical manufacturing facilities and textile industries.
