Gandhinagar, Jul 25 (IANS): Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), an arm of the state government, will set up an industrial estate Mudetha in Banaskantha district as part of its expansion.

The state government has sanctioned the allotment of 2.45 lakh square meters of land for the establishment of the GIDC estate in Mudetha, Deesa taluka.
