The maximum jute mills are situated in the Hugli basin for a number of reasons. Production of jute requires a lot of fresh water, which is available in plenty from the river. Transportation of heavy materials and for trade purposes is also easy through the nearby rail and water routes. The industry gets cheap labour from the neighbouring states of West Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. West Bengal produces the highest number of bales of jute fibre.
Thus these industries are located in and around Hugli.
