TravelKhana offers the train travellers a tasty range of food, prepared and packed in a truly hygienic way, at their seat at the Vapi Railway Station. The travellers do not have to compromise on the quality of food any more. They need not risk the food served on the station platforms. They can now eat comfortably in the bogie, instead of hurriedly gulping down the food on the platform. They only need to contact TravelKhana and book their order an hour before the train reaches Vapi.
The Vapi municipal town is in Gujarat’s Valsad district. The Damanganga River runs through it. The Union territory of Daman is towards its west and Dadra and Nagar Haveli towards the east. But all three centres have grown over the past dozen years and the result is that the three towns of Vapi and Daman and Silvassa have formed a single homogenous urban conglomerate.
Koli Patels were Vapi’s original inhabitants. It has had some other tribes too living there for ages. Vapi has had the community of Desais too living there for generations. The industrial area has a record number of small-scale industries. Chemical units form a huge proportion of the SSI units. This has led to pollution. The industrial hub is high in the list of polluted regions in the world. The water sources too have been badly polluted.
The Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation set up the Vapi Industrial Estate in 1967. It now has over 1400 units. Most of them are SSI ventures. Textile majors Welspun Terry Towels, Alok industries, GHCL, Raymonds and Century Textiles are active at Vapi. There is a very long list of chemical units like United Phosphorus and Sarna Chemicals operating from the region. Micro Inks, Arti Chemicals and Themis Chemicals have production facilities here.
Almost two-thirds of the industrial units are involved in chemical processing. They produce dyes, pesticides, paints and their ingredients. The region also has units involved in packaging, plastics, paper, rubber, pharmaceuticals, textiles, wood, glass, food products and computers. Vapi is close to leading industrial cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Vadodara. That has helped it to keep growing.
There is none like TravelKhana to come up with nice and warm food for train passengers across the country right at their seat. It’s not possible for all the travellers to carry home-cooked food that will last the entire journey all the time. They can surely depend on TravelKhana for a tasty meal at the Vapi Railway Station.
The Vapi menu includes vegetarian and non-vegetarian thalis, vegetarian, non-vegetarian, Chinese, South Indian dishes. TravelKhana packs the food tidily in casseroles to preserve its freshness and warmth.
