Explanation

The main concentration of jute mills in India is in the Hooghly basin region, between North 24 Parganas (Naihati area) and Kolkata along the Hooghly River. West Bengal accounted for over 80% of India's jute production due to proximity to raw jute growing areas, water transport, and colonial-era infrastructure development.
