    The reasons responsible for the location of jute mills along the Hugli basin are: 

    • Proximity or nearness to the jute producing areas. 
    • Inexpensive water transport. 
    • Good network of roadways, railways and waterways which helps in the movement of raw material to the mills.  Availability of abundant water for processing of raw jute. 
    • Cheap labour from West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh.
    • Kolkata being a large urban centre provides banking, insurance and port facilities for export of jute goods.
