Vapi is a fast-growing town in Valsad district in south Gujarat, sitting on the Mumbai–Ahmedabad rail line and National Highway 48. Its large GIDC industrial estate makes it one of the region's main employment centres, which in turn drives steady demand for homes, rentals, shops and industrial space.
