Jamnagar is one of the largest centers for brass production in India. It has thousands of factories that make various brass items, from small pins to parts used in airplanes. Around 15% of these products are exported to countries all around the world.
The brass industry in Jamnagar started in 1948. Before that, there was a plastic industry. However, when automatic machines were introduced, the plastic industry shut down, and the brass industry took its place. This shift marked the beginning of Jamnagar’s rise as the “Brass City.”
