FYI, companies like Tetley, MGM, and Jaguar are NOT based in India. That said, how does that bring local employment in India? Perhaps you should do some homework (or should I say "google"before trying your hand at one-upmanship.
I dont care about tetley,mgm....
Here we are talking about Gujarat which is based in India - M I right ?

Well, though those companies are not based in India, they do help Indian folks. The supply chain for example. The value added services for example. The R&D for example. Many things.
Even if it does not, a richer Indian is definitely going to put smile on my face than seeing a Chinese in the list.
However we are not discussing anything of that here. We are discussing development projects in Gujarat. Please focus.

Thanks Garvo , lets stick to Gujarat instead wasting energy on other topic

Sounds impressive, Garvo. What is the downside to all of this? There are so many manufacturing units being set up in Gujarat. How will it effect in terms of pollution? It has been said that while China exports to the West, they have imported pollution(or rather west has outsourced pollution along with cheap manufacturing).
Also if I recollect, Gujarat is mostly semi-arid/desert region with water scarcity. I wonder how all this development will play out in future in terms of water scarcity.
All valid concerns. For pollution control I guess we have laws but the enforcement is not happening. Haven't been to Gujarat's polluted areas for long long time, so can't tell how well government is performing there, but it looks like Modi is serious about environment, and pollution is part o it. Gujarat being the largest coastal state is going to get affected by climate changes a lot.
Look at the article concerning the rising-sea level and its potential impact on Gujarat.

As regard to Water, Narmada did magic to the state and now almost all villages in Gujarat enjoy the drinking water from it, in addition to irrigation. Sabarmati, a dry river most of the time, now runs full because of Narmada.

absolutely right GG, I am from Kutch (west part of Gujarat) - boarder of Pakistan. we have a Desert area and problem of water too, but now after Govt. command by NM, we have a Narmada water at our interior areas and we are way...way...good about water problem and messive Industrial changes after 2001 Earthquake (ofcourse due to some Tax benefits
) but we have now more than 1200 industires (Big and small) and we have a huge Job Opportunities now compare to back 1990.

The last time I was in Bhuj (6 months ago), the water supply was intermittent - 3 days a week, 1 hour a day. The water gets harvested by unscrupulous users before it reaches the district of Kutch.
The city of Bhuj faces a huge challenge as far as infrastructure is concerned - not to mention a corrupt municipality and a callous and indifferent attitude of its citizens. Since the time I left Bhuj, it has become dirtier and messier than before, esp. after earthquake.
All the posted pictures look good on "paper", but let us see - how they get built and how they are maintained
