These mills had shut 25 to 30 years back, and the AMC has been raising tax bills every year. Leading on the list is Calico Mills Ltd, founded by the Sarabhai family in 1888, which closed in 1998.

Ahmedabad Manufacturing and Printing own Calico Mills. Jainik Vakil, chairman of AMC’s revenue committee, told the media that they approached the official liquidators of these mills and asked them to consider their tax demand.
