Answer:
Maharashtra
and Gujarat states have the maximum extent of cotton textile growth.
Reasons for the concentration of cotton textile industry in these states
are
(i) Availability of raw materials Due to the
favourable soil type and other climatic conditions, cotton is grown in a vast
area in these states. So, raw materials are available in plenty.
(ii) Transport These states are well connected to
the rest part of the country by rail and road. Also, they have many large ports
from where the textile products can be easily exported.
(iii) Market Though they have locally available big
markets, they also enjoy good transport facilities that enable their reach to
the national and international markets.
(iv) Labour Although they have locally available
cheap labour force, they are supported by migrant labours from the Northern
states.
(v) Moist Climate For cotton cultivation, moist
climate is a must. These states have favourable climate
conditions.
