• Engineering + tech companies: Honeywell + Bosch + others
• GIDC tenant companies: Multiple smaller manufacturers
• Migrant worker housing: Bihar/UP/Odisha workers regularly consume eggs

Special considerations.

Sanand auto cluster substantial Gujarat economic engine. Migrant workforce primarily north + east Indian (Bihar, UP, Odisha) — egg consumption regular. Local Gujarati workforce more vegetarian-leaning (Jain + Patidar influence) but commercial canteens accommodate diverse preferences. Cold-chain via Mumbai/Ahmedabad logistics 48-72 hours. EV manufacturing scaling under Tata.
