The location of industries are influenced by several factors:
  1. Availability of raw material: The industries are largely located at the places where the raw material is available in abundance and at cheaper rates in close proximity.
  2. Favourable climate: The industries are densely found in the regions where the climate is favourable for its growth and functioning. For instance, in Maharashtra, due to the presence of humid climate all the year around the thread does not break frequently. And this type of the climate is favourable for the cotton textiles industries.
  3. Market: In the nearby areas, market is also an important requirement for the location of industries for selling of goods manufactured. The regions having market in the adjoining regions to sell-off the finished goods are likely to have more industries.
