Expert Answer

Surat turned out to be a very important commercial city during the Mughal reign because it grew famous for all types of textiles, particularly cotton textiles. The Surat textiles had markets in West Asia, Africa and Europe. Many mahajans and Kathiawadi merchants had large banking houses at Surat and financed different trading and economic activities.
