The Facilitators
 
 
The growth of industry in Gujarat was rapid but by no means unplanned. Facilitatory and regulatory bodies were set up by the state to promote and aid investments. Important amongst them are:  
  
 
IC Office - Industries Commissionerate
GIDC - Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation
GIIC - Gujarat Industrial Investment Corporation Limited
GSFC - Gujarat State Financial Corporation
GSPCL - Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited
GMDC - Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Limited
GAIC - Gujarat Agro Industries Corporation Limited
GMB - Gujarat Maritime Board
GIDB - Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board
GPCL - Gujarat Power Corporation Limited
TCGL - Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited
iNDEXTb - Industrial Extension Bureau
 
 
The above institutions form a strong network striving towards excellence. However, realising that the prospect of dealing with each individual organisation may prove intimidating for an investor, in 1978, the Government of Gujarat formed a single window co-ordination agency - iNDEXTb (Industrial Extension Bureau).  A pioneering set up of its kind in India, iNDEXTb is the "single point contact " for an entrepreneur wishing to set up an industrial venture in Gujarat.   

A dedicated institutional network makes Gujarat one of the most investor-friendly States in INDIA.
