• Our Makarpura G.I.D.C. was considered to be the largest of all G.I.D.C. when Gujarat Government made G.I.D.C. by issuing 332 Hectors of land. At that time roads in G.I.D.C. were much un-even in quality; was not having city bus connection and no Government officers of G.I.D.C. and G.S.F.C. were able to come to our G.I.D.C. area for giving loan and other facilities. There were many pits of approximately 8 feet depth and places were suitable for bricks construction.
  • During that period Mr. Rambhai Kesaria Saheb and other industrialist established “Microfine Bearing” in shed No. 38 and established our “Makarpura Association”. They all had repaired roads and with the help of Corporation initiated bus services to get in G.I.D.C.
  • Our Makarpura G.I.D.C. at Vadodara with the help of experienced, visionary industrialists with good intention has come in to existence. We have some 4000 large and small industries and have 1500 associate members. Since initial stages, our G.I.D.C. is renouned and paying different taxes such as Commercial Tax, Excise Tax and Custom Duties, foreign business, G.I.D.C.

Industrial Association” as many different Industries joined to Association.
  • Because of poor infrastructure of roads and many pits, lumps in the area we had (forwarded) put C.I.P. project in 2006 for roads and gutters and for this project we had been asked that this project is only possible if you improve infrastructure of G.I.D.C. So for this, our Association was named as “Makarpura G.I.D.C. Industrial Estate Infrastructre & Charitable Association”. C.I.P. project was approved and hence roads and gutter lines were made possible.
