About Morbi
Morbi Municipal Corporation is among the newest civic bodies in Gujarat, having been formally constituted as a corporation on January 1, 2025. The city itself, however, carries a history that stretches back considerably further. Once a princely state, Morbi is known for its striking European-influenced architecture, most notably the Mani Mandir and the iconic suspension bridge that has become one of the city's defining landmarks.
Economically, Morbi is in a league of its own within India's industrial map. The city produces over 80 per cent of the country's ceramic tiles and sanitary ware and exports to more than 150 countries, earning it the title of the Ceramic Capital of India. Beyond ceramics, Morbi is also a significant global manufacturer of wall clocks and a range of electronic products, industries that have grown from the city's deeply ingrained entrepreneurial culture.
Results are expected to be declared as counting continues through the day.
