Most of the cotton textile industries have been recently shifted to Ahmedabad from Bombay (Mumbai) because of the following reasons:The cotton producing areas are much wider in the Ahmedabad region than in the Mumbai region.Cost of the land in Mumbai has risen sky-high, so none dares to open new textile mills or expand old ones in that city. Ahmedabad is comparatively much cheaper. So Ahmadabad has more prospectus of development of cotton textile industry as compared to Mumbai.Cloth produced by Ahmedabad is of much cheaper rate and thus it has ready markets among the local people.On the other hand the cloth produced by Mumbai is much costlier and thus its range is limited tohigh class only.Mumbai is already over-crowded as compared to Ahmedabad so there is no scope of any expansion in that city. The problem of pollution is much more in Mumbai because of over congestion and thus there is very limited scope of any further establishment of cotton mills in Mumbai.

Ans :- Mahatma Gandhi Textile Labour Association which is normally known as TLA Ahmadabad was founded by Mahatma Gandhi in the year of 1920. after Mahatma return from South Africa in 1915 he decided to live permanently in India and for that he viewed many places and in the last he chose Gujarat and in Gujarat also he chose Ahmadabad for his satyagrah ashram. The main reason for choosing Ahmadabad was Textile Mills. Ahmadabad was known as a Manchester of India where most of the cotton Mills were situated. More Cotton Mills and many more Mill Workers were workers Education and Social activities for those workers & their family was done by Shree Ansuyaben Sarabhai. Shree Ansuyaben Sarabhai was a sister of the well-known mill owner shree Ambalal Sarabhai. In 1917 mill workers of Ahmadabad goes on the strike for increase of their wages and the strike was led by Mahatma Gandhi and after the strike of 25 days workers succeeded in their mission and get increase in their wages. This was the beginning for the thoughts to set up the union for these textile mill workers and it converted in to the Textile Labour Association (TLA) in 1920 A unique Trade union set by Mahatma Gandhi.
as per my knowledge, ahmedabad was Manchester of east. it was a great textile booming market when cotton was so cheap and was easily grown up in Gujarat. as time goes, the cotton farms got destroyed and other businesses come in the focus. then reliance group even start their career from Ahmadabad by establishing the first textile factory of "Arvind mills". now the cotton is even costly and it used to be a lifeline of farmers before Britishers ruled. the land of Gujarat was so perfect to grow cotton, and used to export in other regions of India. but now they export the all good clothing out of the nation. but still today, on roads of old ahmedabad, the textile is still booming. some places like-ratanpole, dhalgarwad, manekchowk, kalupur cloth market and many more are the memories of old Manchester. for amdavadis the Ahmadabad is still Manchester.
