The Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) has urged the the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) to utlise land lying unused in old textile mills to convert into mini industrial estates for small businesses. This will reduce the capital cost of investors so that even small-scale entrepreneurs can afford them, or else the cost of land would exceed other costs, making the project unviable. GCCI also asked the AMC to improve the road, water supply, and sewage infrastructure in industrial estates of Naroda, Vatva, Odhav, Narol, and Kathwada.
The apex body for trade and industry also suggested proper planning should be undertaken for parking of vehicles while allowing construction of commercial and residential buildings in the city. The chamber complained that illegal parking fee is being charged increasingly at many places in the city. With a view to ease commuting of industry workers, the GCCI urged the AMC to increase the frequency of buses where the workers are in significant numbers.
