The country’s largest man-made fabrics (MMF) wholesale market at Ring Road in Surat which houses more than 165 textile markets and over 65,000 textile shops due to traffic chaos and market congestion, textile traders have started looking for options in other parts of the city. City’s textile markets will be soon getting new alternative address at Saroli.
Saroli on Puna-Kumbharia road is fast developing as an alternative for Ring Road where more than 18 major textile market projects have been launched. Market developers said that the textile markets at Saroli have the capacity to accommodate all the 65,000 shops, presently being operated from the 165 textile markets on Ring Road.
Every single textile market being built at Saroli is set up on a minimum of 10 lakh square feet area, whereas the markets in Ring Road are in an area of 2 lakh square feet. The textile traders have an opportunity to get shops in the size range of more than 15,000 square feet in the markets at Saroli.
Chairman of textile committee of Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SGCCI) Devkishan Manghani said that the new markets coming up in Saroli are state-of-the-art, as far as the design and basic infrastructure are concerned. Each market has more than 50 elevators for loading and unloading of grey and finished fabrics, 50 percent of the market is reserved for parking, which includes container parking, and the road width is 80 feet. It is a perfect location for textile markets as Ring Road is getting congested.
If one has to think considering the logistics, Saroli is the best option. Further, as all the dyeing and printing mills located in Kadodara and Palsana, the traders can easily send the fabrics for finishing for lower logistic costs, compared to Ring Road, said Shree Kuberji Developers chairman Naresh Agarwal, who has developed four textile markets in 40 lakh square feet area.
Agarwal added that in the next two years, Surat’s textile markets will have a new address at Saroli. Many textile traders have started shifting their shops to the textile markets at Saroli.
