Accepted Answer

The English East India Company established its first factory in Surat in 1613. Broach (Bharuch) was another significant early trading post and factory established by the English in Gujarat, around the same period. Chicacole (Chikakol) and Trichinopoly (Tiruchirappalli) became important later, particularly in the 18th century for the company's operations in Madras Presidency and further south.
