Due to proximity to mumbai, in fact, Surat had to struggle for Domestic Airport. The Traditional Diamond Businesses which originated and grew in surat shifted their main offices to Mumbai due to lack of export infrastructure (say Airport), the same goes for textile business. Surat is the highest revenue earner for Western Railway but due to proximity to Mumbai it has never got the status of a full fledged railway division.
