About the Chamber
Where the Rann meets the sea, business needs a table.
Gandhidham is the nearest town to Deendayal Port — one of India’s largest ports by cargo volume. Around it has grown a dense economy of shipping, customs house agents, salt, timber, food grain, edible oils, steel, transport and warehousing.
The Kandla Chamber of Commerce & Industry Association was formed in 2026 to give that economy a single, organised voice. We are a registered trust and society headquartered in Gandhidham, governed by an elected managing committee drawn from across the trades we represent.
Our work is practical: we take members’ concerns to the port authority, customs, GST and government; we attest trade documents; we resolve disputes between members; and we bring the industry together so that Kutch grows as one.
Mission
Advance the trade, industry and commerce of Kandla–Gandhidham through representation and service.
Vision
A Kutch business community that is heard, connected and competitive on the world stage.
Values
Integrity, fairness between members and an unwavering focus on results.
Who we represent
Eight trades. One seal.
Every emblem on our seal stands for a trade that keeps Kandla moving. The Chamber is built to serve all of them — and the thousands of businesses that depend on them.
