Solution
Most of the petrochemical units are in Maharashtra or Gujarat because:
(i) This Industry is normally located near an oil refinery which can supply its basic requirements of Naphtha or Ethylene and Benzene. These chemicals are required for manufacturing a large variety of articles. Trombay in Maharashtra, Kosamba and Koyali in Gujarat are big oil refineries.
(ii) Maharashtra and Gujarat are big industrial centres so the demand and supply both can be carried out easily.
