Federation Of Industries And Associations (Gujarat)

Preamble FIA

When Gujarat was struggling for a foothold in the industrial area of India, a strong and urgent need for uniform, all-round peaceful, stable and sustained development of industries of Gujarat was foreseen as utmost priority by the dedicated and committed industrialists of Gujarat during the year of eighties. Having whole hearted commitment to economic, technological and productive advancement of industries and the overall progress of people of Gujarat at their hearts, they united themselves to take-up the challenge.

To voice their feelings for this noble cause, likeminded and visionary industrialists gathered to work out a strategic action plan and to give a shape to their vision and decided to bring all of them together under one umbrella. In order to achieve this goal they formed FEDERATION OF INDUSTRIES & ASSOCIATIONS (GUJARAT) having its office at Plot No. R- 11, New Green City, GIDC Housing Zone, Nr. D- Mart, Sector-26, Gandhinagar – 382026 With a view to give a legal entity they got it registered under the Registration of Public Trust Act and the Registration of Societies Act.
