<strong>Indore</strong> city emerged from being a trading centre to textile<br />

manufacturing city to a hub for automotives, light engineering,<br />

food and pharmaceuticals industries. While most of the large<br />

industries are located outside the city limits, <strong>Indore</strong> provides a<br />

variety of services to support these industries, in addition to<br />

large hinterland. Household food industry also contributes<br />

significantly to the economy of the city.<br />

<strong>Indore</strong> is the business and trading capital of the state. Located at<br />

the crossroads of western and central India, <strong>Indore</strong> has relatively<br />

good connectivity and has been the hub of trade and commerce<br />

not only for the state but also for western India. The city hoods a<br />

dominant position and is a vibrant center for trade and<br />

commerce.<br />
