Surat is the second-largest city in Gujarat state and one of India's fastest-growing cities, home to approximately 8 million people in the metro area. Like all Indian cities, it operates on Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30). Surat is the diamond capital of the world — an extraordinary 90% of the world's rough diamonds are cut and polished here, with thousands of workshops processing stones from Africa, Russia, Canada, and Australia. The city is also India's textile capital, producing synthetic fabrics in vast quantities. Surat's Hazira industrial zone is one of India's most significant chemical and petrochemical clusters, home to plants of ONGC, Essar, and Reliance. Historically, Surat was the first British trading post in India (1608), established by the East India Company, and was one of the most important ports in the Mughal Empire. The Dumas Beach and Dutch and English cemeteries reflect the city's multicultural trading history.
