Gujarat Likely To Suffer Huge Losses As Most Of The Industries Depend On Migrant Labourers

As the issue of migration is raging on following the recent attacks on labourers from north Indian states, the experts point out that a population of over five lakh from different states forms the basis of industrial units in ‘Vibrant Gujarat.’

Chinmay Tumbe, assistant professor of economics area at IIM-Ahmedabad, said that migrants make up about 70% of Surat’s workforce and 50% of Ahmedabad, higher than most of the major cities of India.
