Gujarat Maritime Trade

Gujarat Maritime Trade refers to the historical and ongoing exchange of goods across the maritime routes connected to the Gujarat coast, a region in western India. Historically, it was a vital part of global trade, with Gujarat's ports like Cambay and Surat serving as important hubs for spices, textiles, and precious stones. Today, the region continues to be significant with busy ports such as Kandla and Mundra facilitating imports and exports, contributing significantly to India’s economy. This maritime activity has fostered cultural exchange, economic development, and strengthened Gujarat’s position in regional and global trade networks.
