Question
Answer the following question.
Explain the relationship between transport and industrial development.
Solution
Transport and Industry are closely related to each other. Cheap and efficient transport is essential for localization and growth of industries. Transporting facilities are required for carrying raw materials and labor force to the manufacturing site and for carrying manufactured goods to the market. No industrial growth is possible without transport; for e.g. iron & steel industry uses coal, iron ore and manganese as the basic raw material. These are heavy raw materials which require cheap transport because they cannot bear a higher transport costs. Earlier growth of industries took place near the major ports like Kolkata, Mumbai, and Chennai because these ports were connected with their surrounding areas by a close network of roads and railways.
