Vapi region combining Vapi, Daman and Silvassa too witnessed a surge of 296% to 6 lakh square feet of warehousing space being leased out
SURAT: Although the economy tanked due to the pandemic, industrial real-estate in the south Gujarat region has many reasons to rejoice. Last year’s lockdown and the fear of getting infected among people indirectly gave warehouse space leasing in Surat and other clusters in south Gujarat a huge fillip.
At least 75% of the warehousing leasing from Kosamba to Palsana belt in Surat district was done by e-commerce companies and third-party logistics firms. However, all metro and big cities witnessed an average drop in warehousing leasing of over 29% in fiscal 2020-21.
SURAT: The Samast Patidar Samaj in association with the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SGCCI) has organised a job fair for the unemployed youths from its community on December 27 in Katargam area of Surat.
The job seekers have been asked to submit an online application with their requirement and the community leaders have approached the employers from the diamond, textile, food processing and engineering sectors for registration.
Velji Sheta, president of Samast Patidar Samaj told TOI, “This is our first job fair for the community youths seeking employment. Patidar samaj has been doing a lot of activities for the upliftment of the community and its youth. However, during the lockdown many youths lost their jobs and there is a need to reinstate them with better wages.”
