Five world records.
You have walked past a world record and not known it. Surat does not just make things. It out-makes the planet. Here are five records that all belong to one city on the Tapi, every one of them verified: 1. World's largest office building. The Surat Diamond Bourse opened in 2023 with 7.1 million sq ft and 4,700 offices, beating the Pentagon (Guinness World Records).
2. About 90% of all the world's diamonds are cut and polished in Surat.
3. Cleanest city in India. Surat topped Swachh Survekshan 2023, joint No. 1 with Indore.
4. World's fastest-growing city. Oxford Economics forecast about 9% yearly growth for Surat from 2019 to 2035, ahead of every other city on Earth.
5. India's fabric engine. Roughly 40% of India's man-made fabric is woven here on 600,000-plus power looms. Every photo is the real place, credited on each slide. Tag a proud Surti and tell us: which record stunned you the most?
