What abounds near Mumbai and what makes Mumbai the largest industrial center in India?

Located on the west coast of Indian Peninsula, Mumbai is rich in cotton and has become the largest cotton textile industry center in India.

The climate in most parts of India is tropical monsoon climate, which is different due to the influence of topography and land and sea location. Climate differences affect agricultural production, so there are obvious regional differences in the distribution of crops in India. The difference of crop distribution affects the distribution of industrial sectors with agricultural products as raw materials. The climate near Mumbai in northwest India is relatively dry and sunny, which is suitable for cotton growth and is the main cotton-producing area in India. In order to reduce the transportation cost of raw materials and save the production cost, the cotton textile industry is located near the cotton-producing area. Therefore, Mumbai has become the largest cotton textile industry center in India.
