The location of industries are influenced by several factors:

1. Availability of Raw Material: The industries are largely located at the places where the raw material is available in abundance and at cheaper rates in close proximity.

2. Favourable Climate: The industries are densely found in the regions where the climate is favourable for its growth and functioning.
