investments in a year.
Ø A report in Times of India describes the Gulf of Kutch as India 's '
Gulf of Riches '.
Ø Four top business houses - Reliance Industries, Essar Group, Adani Group
and Tata Group, have invested about $34 billion along the Gulf of Kutch 's
700-kilometer long coastline. Other corporate, which had invested over $3.26
billion since the 2001 earthquake have investments worth another $19..5 billion
in the pipeline. Ten special economic zones (SEZs) near Jamnagar , a

cargo. It is estimated that by 2015, Gujarat's ports will handle 39% of India
's cargo.

investment destination but also, it is threatening to dislodge Mumbai,
Maharashtra 's capital and the financial and business capital of India , as the
trade gateway to the country.

setting up giant oil storage capacities has already emerged as India 's largest
